Who is Victoria? <\/span><\/p>\n The woman in red in the foreground, making or receiving a promise with her lover?

Could she even be more than one of them?? Or again….might Victoria be the station? As a child in the 1960s, a trip through a railway station always promised <\/span>great excitement, as it meant we were going on holiday, or at the very least a day out. (They were always called\u00a0<\/span>railway<\/em>\u00a0stations, not ‘train’ stations).<\/span>
As with so many of my images – and especially this one – the possibilities for stories are virtually endless. The one you decide on ultimately will be shaped by <\/span>whatever your own life has shown you so far, regardless of whether you actually remember scenes which looked like this.<\/span><\/p>\n
