And I lived in Holbeach for a short time as well. Not short enough…View attachment 51827I used to live in a former railway station which had been converted into flats. I had a small patio area which was previously the platform. I would sit on my patio and think about all the people who had previously set foot where I was sitting, people going on holiday, people going away to the wars, I would often sit and think if these walls could tell a story.
I wasn't in a good place mentally at the time and these musings was one of the things which got me through it.
(The photo is a picture of the station in the 1950s, my front door was roughly where the ticket office sign was).
