EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour photograph transports us back in time to Lostwithiel Station in Cornwall during the 1970s. The image portrays a melancholic yet intriguing scene of the once-thriving railway station in a state of disuse. Lostwithiel Station opened its doors to passengers in 1859, connecting the picturesque town to the rest of the country via the Great Western Railway (GWR). As we gaze at this photograph, we can almost hear the echoes of steam trains whistling in the distance, their frequent departures and arrivals now replaced by an eerie silence. The station building, a testament to the rich railway history, stands proudly yet neglected, its grandeur faded but not forgotten. The platform, overgrown with weeds and littered with debris, bears no signs of the hustle and bustle that once filled the air. The station clock, a symbol of the passage of time, remains frozen, its hands seemingly stuck at an uncertain hour. Lostwithiel Station closed its doors to the public in 1964, marking the end of an era for the town and its people. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the past, inviting us to reflect on the transient nature of time and the stories that unfolded within these walls. As we admire the beauty and history captured in this image, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our heritage for future generations to explore and appreciate.
