The Railway Station moved from the centre of The Square to Main Street in 1890. The photograph is taken looking down Main Street - away from The Square. The photograph shows passengers, trains and lines and sidings at the station. The postcard reads, "22/7/1904 This is what will bring you to me at Xmas. The number of trains to take one away from the place is one of it's advantages."
