A few pictures of the few bits I could get close enough to photograph.

An imposing building, have you noticed the two redundant window arches above the huge RSJ over the roller shutter?

It makes me wonder if there are/is other entrances for the wagins to enter by?

Took the words right out of my mouth, you can seethe roller shutter is a recent  mod. The brickwork is brilliant. I wonder how many of today's brick layers could replicate that. Not many I fear. Six months and your qualified.

Great photo's

Thanks for posting

Toto.

Hi Doug,
The site is quite large overall but I could only get to see a small part through the fence. The part I photographed is is in use by a bus company and is separated off from the rest of the site. The rest (all well fenced off and apparently inaccessible) is in use by a company that refurbishes heritage and other railway locos and carriages etc. You can get a better idea of the size of the site if you take a look on google earth.
regards
David
