France St.Mariens Office Block: At the rear of the part-roundhouse at St. Mariens, is the former office block and doorway from the locomotive repair area – the latter clearly indicated by the high roof section to allow installation within of a boiler-lifting gantry. In the doorway were two lines of rail still embedded in the concrete – the only remaining pieces of track in the former engine shed. 19 April 2006.
