Photo:I've been documenting the demolition of the warehouses on New England Street, that were once part of the Locomotive Works. They were last occupied by Martha's Barn, Cliffords and John's Camping.

On the eastern edge of the station site was a motley selection of buildings that were once part of the Locomotive Works. At the corner of Cheapside there was a small building with domes, last occupied by Harvest Forestry. Rumour has it, it was once a banana-ripening warehouse. Further north were Martha's Barn (once the Loco Works canteen), Cliffords (motor factors) and John's Camping, which had a house and various staircases and bridges behind it
