The Davies Family

						Our late father purchased the land here at Stoke Edith Station in 1997 as a derelict plot, but he had clear visions of reviving this railway station and accompanying yard to its former glory, and recreating a little piece of precious rural history.

						With his four son labour force in tow, the first step of course was restoring the original Station Masters House, which has now become our family home. Once this was complete, and after a huge amount of landscaping and tidying up, we set about re-building the old cattle dock, constructing a large engineering shed and laying some track to run our 88DS Ruston Locomotive. Since Dad's passing, our main focus has been solely on finishing what he so nearly did; the recreation of the station building and platform, designed & built to be used as two self-catering holiday lets. This has now been completed (with great success so far!), and the new building sits on the original site with the aim of recreating the nostalgic images we’ve acquired from 1904 (many of these can be found throughout our website, but in particular on the "History" page).

						This is far from the end of such a tenacious man’s ambitions though, so Mike’s sons, Matthew, Ed & Chris, have quite an adventure ahead of them.
