Llanfairfechan Train Station - Why I think this was made..
As a 70s child, I am old enough to remember the stories of my previous generation. I do remember the original arts and crafts building before its demolition and it was quite impressive. But my Mother, and her parents told me of stories when people used to travel via rail and road to visit our local Railway Station. On the weekends, there were stalls set up selling a variety of goods, even life-size Mickey and Minnie Mouse to entertain the children. As the station is near the beach, my Mother told me people used to flock here just for the atmosphere! Yet the station is a good 10 minutes walk from the village shops and pubs of the time. I have seen a few B&W photos from around the late 40s with the two Disney characters walking along the platform with so many people about. *Health and Safety* would have a fit these days! Children playing, merry-go-rounds right next to the tracks! But it looked like fun, and I can see why a film was made of this station. These stories won't get passed on, as there is no reference today, and to think Disney made it across the pond in the late 40s to land on a crazy named train station in a village in North Wales! Proud to be a Llanfairfechannite :)
