"I send you a photo. taken by Mrs. Hind, of Stoke-on-Trent. The photo.
shows a railway-station on the Eskdale and Ravenglass line, which
consists of a flat-bottomed boat turned up on its side, with a seat
inside for passengers. I think it likely this is the most primitive and
unique station in the United Kingdom. I may add that the guard is also
station-master, ticket-collector, and porter at the different stations
along the line, of which there are six or seven."--Mr. M. Hind, Felsham
Rectory, Bury St. Edmunds.
