Suitcase 1519 by

I loved the colour and texture of this old suitcase that I spotted in Bo’Ness Railway station in Scotland. Bo’Ness is a small town on the banks of the River Forth which is home to a very well preserved steam railway. The old station has been extremely well preserved as an early 20th century train station.

This photograph won 1st prize in Stirling and District Camera Club’s Annual Print competition for 2008.

    rustic.. i like, what was the sticker for?

  • I don’t know Andrew – I’m guessing it may have been from a “left luggage” service which used to be common in the old railway stations (where this was taken).
