VISITORS to a town railway station have been treated to a step back in time to the spirit of the blitz.
Llangollen Railway turned back the clock to the Second World War era when it staged its Home Front Weekend across Saturday and Sunday.
The Home Front side of the period was represented with civilian vehicles parked at various locations together with displays of life in the 1940s.
