EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken between 1925 and 1933 from the Historic England Archive, captures a moment in time at Corfe Castle Station in Dorset. The idyllic setting of the medieval castle ruins in the background, shrouded in a soft, hazy light, contrasts sharply with the modernity of the locomotive, LSWR Drummond M7, which is about to pull away from the platform. Three women, dressed in fashionable early 20th century attire, are seen on the down platform, their expressions a mix of anticipation and wistfulness as they watch the train depart. The ladies' elegant hats and dresses, reminiscent of the Roaring Twenties, add an air of sophistication to the scene. Corfe Castle Station was a popular destination for day trips during this era, with visitors flocking to the area to explore the historic castle ruins and enjoy the picturesque countryside. The railway line, which opened in 1885, played a crucial role in making the area accessible to tourists, and the arrival of the train marked the beginning of a day filled with adventure and discovery. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when travel by train was a novelty and the simple pleasures of a day trip to a historic site were cherished experiences. Today, Corfe Castle remains a popular visitor attraction, drawing visitors from around the world who come to marvel at its medieval grandeur and soak up the rich history of the area.
