EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to a winter wonderland at Bishops Lydeard Station, circa 1960. This print captures the essence of a snowy scene, where the West Somerset Railway once thrived. Nestled in the heart of Somerset, this historic station opened its doors in 1862 and served as a vital link between Norton Fitzwarren and Minehead. As we gaze upon this enchanting image, our eyes are drawn towards the north, where Watchet awaits with its own tale to tell. The platform stands adorned with a blanket of pristine snow, transforming it into an ethereal landscape straight out of a storybook. Today, Bishops Lydeard Station has been lovingly preserved as part of the heritage line operated by the new West Somerset Railway. It serves not only as a testament to our rich railway history but also as an invitation for visitors to experience nostalgia firsthand. In this frozen moment captured on film, we can almost hear the distant whistle blowing and feel the excitement that must have filled these very platforms all those years ago. Let your imagination wander back in time as you admire this remarkable photograph – an enduring symbol of both natural beauty and human ingenuity.
