Sally Farr - Yes that bring back lots of good memory back that was our holidays then

Karen Heins Watkins - Thanks for this photo. Lovely for my daughters to see something that their great grandad was involved with. Especially my eldest daughter who has fond memories of Grandad Eric.

Brian E Morris - I remember being terrified of the big green steam engine coming into the station. It made such noise blowing steam off.

Brian E Morris - Think I might be on this one somewhere clinging to my dad.

Brenda Hill - I bet thats our James Sandford with his cap and me by the side I shall have to ask him he wore it to bed!!!!!

Hilary Hilsy Williams-Jones - mother's magnifying glass may come in handy on this one.

Kim Yeates - So was this Ledbury station back in the day? Looks like Malvern.

Hilary Hilsy Williams-Jones - this was Ledbury as it used to be Kim - guess railway architecture was pretty similar around the country

Kim Yeates - What a shame it was knocked down though!

Hilary Hilsy Williams-Jones - absolutely Kim, total travesty that so many of these buildings have been lost

Sheila Neale - So many children. Bet there was a noise on that train

Brenda Hill - Just got the Magnifying Glass out it is James with cap on me next to him with white bow in my hair and my Mum behind this was when my latest photos were taken 1954

Ismet Mustafic - Mind the Gap!

Pam Wildig - I wonder how many children go on Sunday School outings these days - not many.

Janet Morris - I think maybe the question there Pam is do any children go to Sunday school these days!

Ismet Mustafic - Or even Janet does Sunday School still exist?

Janet Morris - Your right Ismet & it doesn't in our church! x

Karen Heins Watkins - My girls sing in a church choir twice a month and my youngest goes to Sunday School.

· Sally Farr - O that's great l remember the station being like that in the summer when l was a kid dad worked on the railway so we use to go free xx

Janet Morris - That's really nice Karen I know in some place's they do a separate children's scripture during a normal service as was the case where I go but things have changed due to a number of reason's.

Janet Jones - Really enjoyed Sunday School trips to the seaside. Oh dear seems such along time ago.

Ismet Mustafic - I did wonder Janet. There was a time in my altar boy days when I served at two Masses and attended Sunday school all on a single Sunday
