"The G.T.R. has announced its intention of building a modern station in Aurora on the premises near the present site."

"The G.T.R. authorities will very shortly be presented with a numerously signed petition form the citizens of Bradford and neighborhood respectfully requesting that the midday passenger train going north be allowed to stop at this depot. The travelling public would find it a great convenience and there is every reason to believe that the railway people would also find ti to be a profitable piece of business in time."

Photograph of the Holland River Bridge in 1920. The boat in the centre of the photograph are the hay-cutters of the Holland Marsh on the boat they would use to transport their daily work. This was prior to the marsh's drainage. Horses were transported up-river to work on the Marsh wearing wooden shoes. In the photograph, there are men fishing off the bridge, and on the right side (west of the bridge) you can see the water tower which trains used to fill up their water supply.

"Elizabeth Willmot is a lover of old railway stations. For the past 10 years she has been travelling around the province collecting historical information and taking photographs of railway stations for her recently published book "Meet Me At The Station." "The book is a nostalgic approach to the old stations. It's not intended in any way to be a textbook," Mrs. Willmot explained in an interview. Recently, the McMichael Canadian Collection in Kleinburg featured an exhibit of photographs of Ontario railway stations from her book."

The Railway station was located on Bridge St.
