EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the Essence of a Bygone Era: Ashburton Station, Devon in the Late 1960s". Step back in time with this print of Ashburton Station, nestled near Newton Abbot, Devon. Taken during the late 1960s after its closure as a terminus, this image offers a poignant glimpse into railway history. Ashburton Station originally opened its doors to passengers in May 1872 and served as a vital transportation hub for over eight decades. However, by November 1958, it bid farewell to its last passenger train. Despite this setback, the station continued to witness steady goods traffic until September 1962. The photograph beautifully captures the rustic charm of Ashburton Station's disused shed against a backdrop of rolling hills and lush greenery. It serves as an evocative reminder of an era when steam locomotives chugged along these tracks—connecting communities and fostering economic growth. Although briefly revived as part of the Dart Valley Heritage Railway project, which aimed to preserve our rich railway heritage, Ashburton Station officially closed its doors for good in 1971. This stunning print is not only a testament to our industrial past but also allows us to appreciate how far we've come since then. A must-have piece for any history enthusiast or railway aficionado seeking to capture the essence of times gone by.
