Last Saturday was the 150th anniversary of the opening of Sherborne Station. To commemorate this important event a series of activities was organised, including the judging of our photography display on platform 2.

The Great and the Good, dressed in Victorian costume, were the judges:

Pictured here, beside the winning photograph, are Mayor Malcolm Boustead, Mayoress Dru Gurzynski, Mayor-elect Jane Smith and Philip Torjussen, Sherborne Station Master.

The winning photograph, of Bow Arch, was taken by Sherborne School pupil A. Broughton, who wins some free train tickets. Congratulations, that boy!

During the day the steam train 35028 Clan Line thundered through the station at speed. Camera Club member Betty Deavin snatched this quick photograph as the train approached the station:

A jolly day was had by all!
