The Station, had been left in a derelict state for many years. But has now been purchased and in the process of being converted into a residential premises.
At the time of my visit building scaffolding shrouded the whole of the premises and I could see that work had begun on making the building water tight again, after being exposed to the elements for so many years.Examining my images one can see the top of the hose tower, roof and pointing of the render has been carried out.
It will be interesting to see how this who project pans out.
