The post of Station Master, like others on the modern railway, has disappeared, and details of the many and varied responsibilities and everyday jobs that went with it will disappear too if they are not recorded. David Holmes became an SM in the 1960s, so is eminently qualified to describe the development and duties of this once very prestigious grade.
David Holmes joined BR in 1954 and later became a Station Master and Relief SM. He always kept his camera by him, and was thus in an ideal position to observe the passing scene 'from the inside' during a momentous decade of change that saw the gradual demise of the old order and the onset of modernisation.
