Railway, historical, prisoner and local history
Serviceton Historic Railway Station的点评
点评:Well this building and its history has more to offer than meets the eye!
Well worth a stop and a diversion off the main highway.
We were travelling from Adelaide to Horsham and had been told by a friend to make sure we called in to see the Serviceton Historical Railway Station along the way( about 1 1/2 hours out of Horsham) .
We rocked up… it looked deserted but as we were standing on the platform a man approached us and started sharing his knowledge with us.
“Les” has been a major volunteer (practically the only one left) for many years and knows every inch of the building, which unbelievably he gave us a guided tour of and a comprehensive explanation of what was what.
How privileged were we!
Did you know the station even had its own prisoner holding cells(16 of them) and even a short term morgue. Unbelievable!
Thanks Les, what you are doing and have done for us all as a community in honouring this amazing building and its history is remarkable.
Thank you, for the time , effort, passion and knowledge you continue to share with us all.
Ps They have a small donation box that suggests a $2 donation… may I suggest you pop a few extra bob than that in there. It is well worth it
翻译:好吧,这座建筑及其历史比我们看到的更有看头!
值得停下来,绕道主干道。
我们从阿德莱德前往霍舍姆,一位朋友告诉我们,一定要顺路去参观一下 Serviceton 历史火车站(距离霍舍姆约 1 1/2 小时车程)。
我们摇摇晃晃地走了上去……它看起来空无一人,但当我们站在站台上时,一个男人走近我们,开始和我们分享他的知识。
“Les” 多年来一直是一名重要的志愿者(几乎是唯一剩下的志愿者),对这座建筑的每一个细节都了如指掌,令人难以置信的是,他带我们参观了这座建筑,并全面解释了它是什么。
我们是多么荣幸啊!
你知道这个车站甚至有自己的囚犯拘留室(16 个),甚至还有一个短期停尸房吗?难以置信!
谢谢 Les,你为我们整个社区所做的和已经为我们所做的,以纪念这座令人惊叹的建筑及其历史,真是了不起。
谢谢您继续与我们分享的时间、精力、热情和知识。
Ps 他们有一个小捐款箱,建议捐款 2 美元……我建议您多放几先令进去。非常值得
