Here's a building (above) on the Kent & East Sussex railway - an ex Southern Railway Lamproom, at Wittersham Road. This used to reside at Barming on the Maidstone East line, and I used to use it when I was a Signalman there in the 80's. The passage of time has taken its toll, and we hope to refurbish it next year. Clarkes of Walsham can supply curved galvy sheet in a radius to suit you. 

Right: Brede General stores, still in daily use.

Left: Tenterden Lamproom. A more common size for a small country station. Probably came from Chilham, along with the signal box.


Above: A large shed next to some garages on the outskirts of Northiam.

Below: an unknown building adjacent to the forecourt at St. Leonards Warrior Square. I find it tragic that this building looks so frolorn and sad. It has the most beautiful barge boards. It is fortunate that it has been kept secure, otherwise the local addicts would be in there "shooting up" and then it would have to be demolished as a safety risk.


It appears to have some air-raid shelters (left) around the RH side alongside the footpath you can see. I couldn't get to photo the side, but the building appears to have a similar section at 90 degrees across the back.
