Alice Station
Alice Station, with its prefabricated wood and iron structure, remains an authentic example of a 19th century village station. To students, it once symbolised the adventure of leaving home to pursue a university education with heavy trunks, farewell baskets of food, and the whiff of more worldly students smoking in the train’s passageway. But it is also associated with a bitter history of state repression and student defiance. Although the Alice Station is now obsolete, it still houses the remnants of a long, complex history.
