End of the line for Oswestry station
Oswestry railway station was in a sorry state when this picture was taken in March, 1971.
Once the headquarters of Cambrian Railways, the station fell victim to the Beeching cuts and closed to passenger services in 1966. Freight services continued until 1971, and at the time of this picture, the station – which once employed 800 men – had a skeleton staff of just eight.
