On Saturday the 10th of May, Handforth Town Council organised a commemoration day, to mark 80 years since VE Day (8th May 1945). The Friends of Handforth Station were pleased to have been invited to attend, and set up stall inside the coffee bar area.
The FoHS display included pictures and photographs of Handforth’s station and railway lines during World War II, as well as posters of the time urging cooperation when using the railways. In addition, a large screen showed details of the history of Handforth Station, especially the area’s use as a munitions dump and a tank repair facility during wartime.
