EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the quaint charm of Dorstone Station in Herefordshire, circa 1910. The image showcases a small wooden station building and platform, evoking a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone. Dorstone Station first opened its doors to passengers in 1881 as part of the Golden Valley Railway. For over six decades, it served as a vital transportation hub for locals and visitors alike. However, with the outbreak of World War II in 1941, passenger services were suspended indefinitely. Eventually, in 1953, all traffic came to a halt at this once bustling station. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past when steam locomotives chugged along these tracks and travelers eagerly awaited their trains on this very platform. It is fascinating to imagine the stories that unfolded within these walls – tearful goodbyes and joyous reunions; dreams pursued and adventures embarked upon. Today, Dorstone Station stands as a testament to bygone days when rail travel was at its peak. This snapshot reminds us of the rich history embedded within our railway heritage. Preserved by STEAM Museum of GWR (Great Western Railway), this print serves as both an educational resource and an ode to simpler times
