You know the ice cream parlour I've just posted? Well its just across the road from the little station at Rawtenstall, pictured here, this was at the wartime 1940s weekend when I took this. Rawtenstall is the northern end of the East Lanc's railway, the railway lines used to go onward to Accrington, and another spur ran on up the Rossendale Valley through Bacup, down to Rochdale I think.

What a quaint little station.  There are very few train stations here in Canada.  Most have been bulldozed or turned into antique shops, or even homes. 

This is a good picture, well done!!!

I like it...This kind architecture seems so grand! Of days gone by!

Wonderful bit of nostalgia.   

It would have been if I could have caught the old world war two American locomotive that was running that day, it was brought over here on the lend lease scheme ended up staying, an then finally went into preservation, and is in full steam again. And the little tower was also originally from some other location, can't be bothered to look it up right now. So all's not what it seems, it is rather nostalgic though.

Now that would be another great picture.  The old station with a steam locomotive.  But I do like this one.  there is history and stories to be told about this station.
