I used to drive past this location most days on my way to see Holly. I never stopped other than to curse the rail crossing barrier and considered the impending 10 minute wait. Well today I did different. I decided to investigate the derelict building which overlooks the rail crossing along with the lovely Juliette, with the purpose of taking some photographs.

We had quite the adventure, blown in the wind and unable to breathe due to a cold, we made our way along a field and up to the shell of a station house. The building itself is still in good shape however some of the beams are starting to show their frailty. Nonetheless, after a quick structural survey we made our way upstairs to be confronted with a brilliant wooden floor of the type you only find in old houses. Time was of the essence (we both had to be at a rehearsal for the impending Philip Pullman play ‘Clockwork’) so we got stuck in quickly getting a few photos before returning to the safety and warmth of the car.

Juliette, you’re a great sport, I look forward to more photoshoots in the future!

More adventures to come.
