EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a heartwarming story of determination and community support. In the image, we see four young schoolboys from Barden Country Sec School in Burnley, Lancashire - Geoffrey Heys, John Loughling, Anthony Jordan, and Lewis Welsh - alongside their teacher Mr Alan Binns at Dent Station near Sedbergh in December 1967. What makes this scene truly remarkable is the reason behind these boys' presence at the station. Through an unconventional fundraising method of selling knickers and bras, they managed to raise enough funds to acquire their very own railway station. Now, during their spare time, these enthusiastic youngsters are dedicating themselves to renovating and converting Dent Station into something extraordinary. Their passion for trains shines through as they eagerly watch out for any approaching locomotives. With every passing day, these determined schoolboys are transforming Dent Station into a place that will surely leave a lasting impact on both locals and visitors alike. This photograph serves as a testament to the power of teamwork and community spirit. It reminds us that with dedication and creativity, even seemingly impossible dreams can become reality. The efforts made by Geoffrey Heys, John Loughling, Anthony Jordan, Lewis Welsh along with the unwavering support from Mr Alan Binns showcase how small actions can lead to significant achievements. Decades later when we look back at this snapshot from 1967 captured by Mirrorpix's lens on Memory Lane Prints collection; it not only tells us about an inspiring project but
