Description
An aerial photograph taken in July 1941 shows a road barrier across the west end of The Parade. It appears as four rows of staggered dots between No. 2 on the north side and a building on the corner on the south side. <1> This building was, in fact, the railway station (see EHER 81565).
Site visit by F. Nash in March 2012
No. 2 still survives, as does the railway building although it is now private residences.
