I love the way the railway line, now transformed into an urban walk-way, just slices through the building. In modern times, the brown-field railway hinterland of trackside and siding has become a site of huge added value. in London, check out the Acton Corridor, King’s Cross and Nine Elms for starters.
Obviously, the building on the left is from about 1980. The one on the right about 1880.
