Report - Bardney Railway Sheds - Oct 20

[Bikin Glynn]

​

Heres something you prob havent seen before & to be honest I have no idea why we were here either!
Random find while passing we thought bits looked abandoned so went in for a mooch!

​

Turns out its not really abandoned per se, but is the home of an industrial tyre sales. we were in now so may as well have a mooch!
the main building was so full of tyres it was a maze & impossible to photograph so heres a few from outside & the rather nice station esc canopy.

​

I cant find a thing about these sheds, but Im sure someone else will. they have a nice industrial feel though but that could of just been climbing over tyres everywhere & the large amount of asbestos to keep us company.

Crap photo but I loved this light

Very random but there it is, thanks for looking​

I did wonder what was in those sheds. Glad to know what lays within.

Could say it was a tiring explore...
Obligatory tyre joke, I'm sorry.

Not a lot is your answer. As mentioned the best bit is bit u can see from the old line, there is a quite high wooden "platform. & the nice overhanging canopy with lights still there but that's about it

Very interesting that mate. Does look a little bit asbestos-y, though...

I love the old roller photo , the insulation on that pipe is brilliant ! I bet that didn’t loose any heat at all !!

Thanks
I looked at that & Im not sure which they are referring to as their maps are pretty crap but I guess it is.
It is the large pink buildings tapering off the top of the map.

No heat loss, just everyone who went near it is now dead!

I agree - from pictures on Flickr the goods shed is now a private house,

yep & the long thin building behind was the more interesting one.
if u look at my first pic its really like a station with the canopy & industrial lights still hanging off the wall.
Strange thing though the "platform" was a wooden affair & was aprox 5ft off the floor, so unless the bed level has dropped considerably this wouldnt appear to be for getting things on & off a train
