The photograph below was purchased as a "postcard" in a collector's shop in Chepstow, Monthmouthshire in September 2008.
It shows an image of Tenterden Town Station taken on 10th September 1988.


As well as this date, some facinating information is also written on the back.  
The scan of the reverse is also shown below, with the text typed out in readable form.
