I worked in retail 1994 and rides part o 95 and 96. It had a great atmophere mostly with the staff. It looked so smart in its final years too. Let hope the nature reserve they are looking to build there brings as much pleasure to many people. :) Sad to hear this placed closed. I worked in retail 1994 and rides part o 95 and 96.

If possible I would like to include it on the site, I would of course give you full credit for the image, so often gems like this are lost over time. It took me a while to get some decent history on the railway. Thanks again for the comments Paul Hi John,

They have been hand coloured in red with brass domes and safety valve covers. The station is in immaculate condition with raised flowerbeds. Unfortunately the card has a crease acrss the R/H side, but I'm sure it will copy OK if you would like to see it. I had to do a search on 'Google' as I had never heard of Llewelyns M.R. and luckily was directed to your excellant site. I am now going to explore the rest of the site!

I visited every summer throughout my childhood, then I brought my eldest daughter for trips here. Moved here to Australia and hadn't heard about it's closing. truly the end of an era, and I just can't believe that it's still not there anymore with the tempting smell of fresh doughnuts and chips and the sound of kids screaming. I have so many memories of all the rides there, the giant slide being one of my childhood favorites, I think it may have been called the astro slide at some point, and the view from the top before you slid down was exhilarating, good times, sigh.
