Frontage, Ely station 
 The first station at Ely was opened by the Eastern Counties Railway in 1844 changing little by 1981, when this photograph was taken, and indeed today for that matter. It was slightly more ornate and included some towers that were removed by the LNER when they rebuilt the station in 1929-1930. The original structure was modelled by Francis Thompson (not Sancton Wood as may would have you believe) and is now Grade II listed. I suspect that the station will have outlived the various cars in the station car park on this warm summer evening including a rather nice yellow Mk.II Vauxhall Cavalier.
