This print takes us back to the year 1968, capturing a significant moment in history - the demolition of Woodside railway station in Birkenhead, the Wirral.

Transportation enthusiasts will find themselves drawn into this snapshot of history, reflecting on how rail stations like Woodside played crucial roles in connecting communities across Britain. This image serves as a poignant reminder that progress often comes at a cost; however, it also opens up new possibilities for growth and development.
