Margam railway sidings & building

Hi,

A few shots taken yesterday and from a few weeks ago. Old railway sidings Margam/Port Talbot.
Not too sure if the building is linked to these but it's in the same area so I thought I'd include it.

Also playing with a new camera so apologies if I've over indulged.

Thanx,
Tim

Very nice set from this place. If I was editing these images for a book (which I have done in the past), I would just reverse the whole sequence - that image of torn up track work tells you what this piece is about in a very telling image. But then the author of a report can do what ever they like with their hard work and research.

As there is no exterior shot of the building, not sure if this is the old office/ablutions block. As many of these siding offices/amenity blocks built post Nationalisation were to a standard design, the passage of nearly 50 years tends to blur the identification of individual locations. Also, visitors tended to use the staff 'bog' and not the train crew facilities.

What a fantasic set but picture 5 was simply awesome - really great work.

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestions, I put a few books together for a derelict project/portfolio I'm doing. As you know books are a great way to show off your images. I did take some out side images but I wasn't impressed with them to post. It did look like a mix of admin and others areas, and a loo.

Cheers,
Tim

Nice one! Thanks for sharing

Visited here today, really enjoyed. We took a few too many wrong turns and walked a lot more than we probably should have, but great explore!
