We have been trying to recover some artefacts that were removed during the changes to the area now known as Platform 1.

One of the more interesting items which has come to light is a memorial plaque to a 'Marguerite Y Alvis'. This, as you will see from the accompanying photographs, contains a rather hard hitting message on the dangers of cigarette smoking!

The preservation of the heritage of Old Station Park is important and an item like this one will hopefully be restored to a prominent position.

Does anyone have any information on the history of 'Marguerite' and the date and circumstances of this dedication?
