The Suttons Seeds promotion would look even finer in colour!

Awaiting the Up Train

Awaiting the Up Train (14 Aug 1956)

Showing the platform and railway at Eynsham Station, with a splendid display of flowers; a line-up of station staff; and a poster for Suttons Seeds beneath the station sign.

A local photographer reckons the original image quality is so good that it may have been taken with a plate camera. In fact it could be a Suttons Seeds publicity shot. Perhaps Suttons encouraged railway staff to promote their products, maybe even ran competitions for the best displays?

Photo shared by Herby Partlett - revised date and further information welcome.
