Has anyone got a picture of the old Railway buildings on Coton Hill? I read about them in a letter to the Chronicle. Someone was writing about the old buildings left to rot- Column House, Admiral Benbow house - and the old Railway buildings.
I'm interested because my late father worked at these offices on Coton Hill, before he moved to Market Drayton.

the buildings you mention are all in use at the moment by the local ford dealers.they plan to move in september,the buildings will then be converted into appartments/flats. Benbow house is unlikely to surrvive as it would cost to much to convert-this will be a tragic loss to our lovely town. I will see if i can find any pics for you. p.s. have you tried "Google images"?

there is a shell of an old signal box on land owned by galliers (it just off coton hill sidings on the shrewsbury to chester line) galliers bought it on the understanding that they renovated the box but all he did was build houses and ignore the boxn
