EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Clevedon Branch Line, captured just a year before its closure in October 1966. The image showcases a bustling scene of passengers on the Clevedon-Yatton branch line, offering a nostalgic glimpse into the past. In its heyday during the 1960s, this three and a half mile long track was brimming with life as it carried an impressive 24 trains in each direction every day. The significance of this snapshot lies not only in its historical value but also in the poignant reminder of how transportation has evolved over time. As we gaze upon these vintage carriages filled with commuters, we are transported to an era when train travel was at its peak. Sadly, progress often comes at a cost, and Clevedon station met its fate two years later when it was demolished to make way for a shopping centre and square. This photograph serves as both a testament to the rich heritage of railway transport in England's southwest region and as a reminder that change is inevitable. As we immerse ourselves in this flashback from 1965 Somerset, memories come flooding back – memories of simpler times when train journeys were part of everyday life for countless individuals. Let this evocative image serve as an ode to those bygone days and ignite our appreciation for the transformative power of photography.
