Whitstable station in 1956, with passengers seated on a platform bench beneath a row of striking railway posters and the shadow of the canopy falling across the platform edge. The scene is full of period detail, including the large Brylcreem advertisement proclaiming “Men of the world use Brylcreem”, a North Wales travel poster, a Folkestone and Boulogne poster advertising the cross-Channel service, a porter’s barrow, a bicycle propped against the wall, multi-pane station windows and the dark brick base running below the lighter brickwork. The family group in summer clothes gives the view an especially natural, everyday feel, capturing the station not as a grand railway building but as a lived-in waiting place in the mid-1950s.
