EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1960s, capturing a nostalgic view of Eardington Halt in Shropshire. The image was taken from the side of a train at the station, offering a unique perspective on this charming railway stop. In the foreground, we see the quaint station building or shelter, exuding an air of simplicity and rural charm. Eardington Halt first opened its doors in June 1868 with the purpose of serving nearby iron works. However, by 1949 it had become an unstaffed halt, and sadly closed its doors altogether in September 1963. Fortunately for history enthusiasts and rail aficionados alike, Eardington Station was revived as a preserved station on May 23rd, 1970 as part of the renowned Severn Valley Railway Heritage Line. Despite its resurgence as a preserved station along this historic line, Eardington Halt ceased to be a regular stop in 1982. Nevertheless, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of its past significance and showcases just how much has changed over time. With every glance at this evocative image, one can't help but feel transported back to an era when steam trains chugged along these tracks regularly. It is through photographs like these that we are able to preserve our rich railway heritage and appreciate the importance these stations held within their communities.
