Description:Mrs Rita Ecclestone, Clerk and Porter at Oakamoor Station in the 1950s.

Rita is standing on the tracks and the view is looking towards the tunnel mouth. However, today you will be looking down a country path. The platforms are still down, and the tunnel is not filled in but is not accessible. The gatekeeper's house now a private dwelling.
