Standlynch - The Beeching Belle
Although taken in black & white on a poor-resolution Brownie 127 camera, this is one of my all-time favourite photos. For me, this picture taken near dusk on a dreary autumn day in 1965 somehow portrays the unremitting gloom of this era. The demolition train somehow symbolises the death of Britain's rural railways. The Salisbury to Bournemouth railway line was closed in March 1964. Demolition started at the West Moors end in March 1965 and finished at Alderbury Junction in late 1965. The locals nicknamed this demolition train the "Beeching Belle" after Dr Richard Beeching, who consigned much of Britain's railway network to the dustbin.
