Before and After - Dramatic Reminder

 Just finished writing an article for Steam Railway magazine about the Water Tower - part of an occasional series about re-using former railway buildings and structures.  You must wait until it is published to read it of course.  Whilst digging back for some 'before' pictures I rediscovered this dismal one and for comparison an equivalent view now:





















The far window is boarded up and ivy is finding its way in.  Altogether a challenge.  What a difference from now:

The second picture covers just the upper portion of the first, with the insertion of the floor which intersects the windows but it is recognisably the same place.
