Visited Wolverhampton Low Level Station today as part of getting as many people out and about this weekend. Spent an enjoyable if not cold hour and a half checking the place out before meeting OT, Riddlers, Zippy, Lillimouse and Blue inside.

This is an unusual place, it's a station completely cut off from the rail network. It's even got a train carriage although someones burnt it out! It was preserved and was going to be a museum at some point, that never happened and now it's going to be a mixed use development of some kind...

Even had a little underground cellar complete with dead dog!

The station was cool, I was literally frozen by the time the others arrived, so didn't really do the whole thing again. The little cellar area was a bit strange, no pipes or anything, must just have been a store? Maybe would be made for a bar\cellar equipment?
Lots of little interesting things in a small site :)
Dead Dog...

As we left, we found two WWII era air raid shelters that were quite interesting although this one had needles inside...
