Can't see that Kenty - maybe I'm looking at the wrong image. What does it say in the Image details to the right of the photo?
I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

Gotcha! Yes it is a rail turntable but I think it is just behind the Hollis and Brommel building.

Previewed my post and didn't 'Post' it. Bugger   :(
Didn't know there was a bridge at the bottom of Park Rd.
So what's the building the other side of the turntable ? Wouldn't that be Park Rd end of Boythorpe Avenue.
My eyes say the Hollis and Brommel building was is hidden or not there by the Ragged School.

Dam Photo keeps changing places !.
I know somebody who is trying to get further photos of that railway line, in particular
any pictures between the station and horns bridge.

Here ya go:



You can clearly see the turntable with H & B building in front of it with the round front of the building on its junction with Markham Road.

Nice one - you can see the railway gates by the entry to Queens Park too.

Hollis and Brommel was a shoe warehouse/shop.
The little building to the left was a sweet shop.
