Nostalgic photo of a train on the waterfront in Dorset

As always, we're wondering: could you guess where this old photo was taken?

If you guessed that this photo was taken at North Quay, Weymouth, well done!

This atmospheric view looks west from North Quay.

A Portland-bound train can be seen heading up the river bank to Rodwell Station, and a few boats in the backwater contrast with the current busy scene.

Westwey Road was not yet built, nor were the major gasworks extensions of 1932, but these have since been removed.

This is what the same view looks like today:

As always, it is thanks to the late Andy Hutchings and his wonderful postcard collection that we are able to bring you these vintage photographs.
