EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a nostalgic glimpse into the past, showcasing the Kent & East Sussex Railway at Headcorn circa 1937. The focal point of this image is the Ford Railcar set, standing proudly amidst the picturesque backdrop of Headcorn station. This railcar, with its sleek design and undeniable charm, symbolizes an era when steam railways reigned supreme. The significance of this particular photograph lies in its historical context. It serves as a poignant reminder that progress often comes at a cost. The Headcorn to Tenterden section of the railway was closed in 1954 and subsequently dismantled, marking the end of an era for this once-thriving transportation route. Preserved within the Ronald Shephard Collection and housed at West Sussex Record Office, this print offers us a window into our rich heritage. It allows us to appreciate not only the engineering marvels of yesteryears but also reflects upon how our landscapes have evolved over time. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, let us remember those who worked tirelessly to keep these wheels turning and honor their legacy. Let it serve as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance that has shaped our modern world
