K&ESR in the 1980s

Tenterden station on the K&ESR in the 1980s

A couple of photos showing the Kent & East Sussex Railway in the 1980s. We holidayed in tents down there for a few years, and my dad and I really liked the atmosphere of the line. For a few years, we were members, although very much sitting at home enjoying the magazine types - it being a long way to nip down to help out!

Interesting to see the top photo has someone using a cine camera, something you rarely see today. Video camera were available, but they were chunky devices with a seperate camera (about the size or bigger than the one in the photo) plus a video recorder unit you lugged around dangling from your shoulder. A far cry from today's mobile phones with their much higher quality recording and ability to share it worldwide in seconds!
