EDITORS COMMENTS
Unearthed from the depths of a forgotten storage room at Manors Station, Newcastle, this eerie print captures a chilling discovery that sent shivers down the spines of onlookers. No, dear passengers, this is not what awaits you if trains fail to arrive promptly or if British Rail operates with a skeleton staff. Rather, it unveils an intriguing relic from the past. On that fateful day in February 1976, workers stumbled upon a large black trunk containing an unexpected inhabitant - a complete human skeleton. Resting peacefully on an old wooden bench amidst the bustling platform and railway tracks, this macabre sight sparked curiosity and speculation among those who encountered it. This haunting image transports us back to the 1970s when educational institutions relied on real skeletons for medical studies and research purposes. Perhaps once used as an invaluable teaching aid or part of an anatomical exhibit at Manors Station's medical facility long ago. As we gaze upon this silent witness to history, let us remember that even in death there is knowledge to be gained. A reminder of our mortality and the importance of education in unraveling life's mysteries. So fear not weary travelers; your journey will not end like this unfortunate soul's fate. Instead, appreciate how far we have come since those bygone days when stations were filled with skeletal remains rather than bustling commuters.
