EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the quaint village of Cleobury Mortimer in Shropshire, captured in this mesmerizing print from 1961. The image transports us to a bygone era, where the local railway station stood as a bustling hub of activity and connection. As we gaze upon the scene, our eyes are drawn towards the magnificent station buildings that exude Victorian charm and elegance. In the foreground, a railcar stands proudly at the platform, ready to whisk passengers away on their journeys. Its sleek design and polished exterior speak volumes about the technological advancements of its time. This snapshot encapsulates an era when rail travel was not only practical but also symbolized progress and modernity. Cleobury Mortimer Station holds a significant place in history, having served its community for nearly a century since opening its doors in 1864. Sadly, just one year after this photograph was taken, it closed its gates forever in 1962 – marking an end to an era of locomotive grandeur. This image is more than just a glimpse into yesteryears; it serves as a poignant reminder of how transportation has evolved over time. It invites us to reflect on our own connections with places and people through railways – reminding us that even though stations may close their doors, memories endure.
