Hi Guys any of you who have been members of Broken Britain might have already seen this report.

After our explore of the other two carriage sheds near the station we decided to drive to this shed, expecting only to be able to take exterior pics. We were then given permission to go inside. The builders mentioned later that it was nice to hear people taking an intrest in this building.

The shed used to be part of the line that spured of from Faversham Station down to the Creek and is currently been renovated it is now on a new industrial estate in Faversham, as well as building new houses near by. From what I understand they are completly doing up the outside whilst stripping out the inside, whilst keeping some of the internal features

I Like the fact that they are doing this place up, as you can see from this photo they have already started of the roof in this room

Inside the shed was full of scaffolding but was still fun to explore and had some lovely features

I hope the restoration of this place is as good as the builders say its going to be. After seeing how the other two shed looked, it was nice seeing this one been rebuild, esp as there was evidence of a fire at some stage in the shed's past

Thanks again to all contractors who gave us permission to take these pics.

UPDATE - 14/01/09 - Ive since found out that this building is going to be fully renovated and turned into offices. The company that will be taking it over is keeping all the original features inside and outside. The only minor change is that the roof will have to be a few inches taller. Glad to here this place has got a second lease of life.
