The Country Station

This colourful scene, set in the early 1960s, captures a busy day at a country station. A steam train arrives to collect passengers, parcels and post. A young man sits astride his scooter, perhaps welcoming his girlfriend home? We have a lovely view of the village pub, church and rolling hills beyond and in the distance, holidaymakers sit outside a camping coach. Railway coaches were converted and rented out as accommodation for holidaymakers wanting a break away from city life. This wonderfully nostalgic scene is packed with detail and colour, and may rekindle memories of days gone by.
