EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this vintage print by NCJ, we witness the dramatic scene of the demolition of Manors Railway Station on 11th September 1985. The image transports us back to a pivotal moment in history, where progress and modernization clashed with nostalgia and memories of a bygone era. The composition showcases an array of elements that tell a story within themselves. A towering railway excavator dominates the foreground, its mechanical arms poised to dismantle what was once a bustling hub for commuters. Ladders lean against remnants of the station's structure, serving as silent witnesses to countless journeys taken by passengers over the years. Amidst clouds of dust and debris, two men can be seen amidst their arduous task. Their faces hidden behind protective gear, they embody determination and resilience as they navigate through piles of rubble left behind by this relentless digger. This photograph encapsulates not only the physical destruction but also symbolizes societal changes during the 1980s - an era marked by transformation in public transport systems and shifting priorities. It serves as a poignant reminder that progress often comes at a cost; yet it is through such demolitions that new beginnings emerge. As we gaze upon this image from Memory Lane Prints, we are reminded to cherish our memories while embracing change – for every demolished station paves way for new tracks leading towards future horizons.
