Eerie site of a long-abandoned Herefordshire station

IT is hard to imagine trains rumbling through this overgrown site now. But for over 100 years, locomotives steamed through Holme Lacy as they travelled on the Hereford, Ross and Gloucester Railway. Opened in 1855, the line carried goods and passengers between Hereford Station and Gloucester, with stations at Holme Lacy, Ballingham, Fawley, Ross, Mitcheldean Road, Longhope, and Grange Court, with halts at Blaisdon, Weston under Penyard, and Backney. But as car ownership and road travel grew in popularity, passenger numbers and freight traffic gradually dropped. The line between Hereford and Ross was to fall victim to the Beeching cuts, which aimed to improve efficiency of the railway system by closing many of Britain s smaller stations and branch lines.
