I have studied a few maps etc of the railway works and added to that my dim and distant memory of my time there and have decided that it is ashford.
The first picture (1221) is a view towards ashford , showing the corner of the loco erecting shop taken from the roof of the locomotive wheel shop.Interesting the row of sand buckets on the catwalk of the wheel shop for use in an incendiary attack.
Pic 1222 shows a view of the power house on the left ,the tube shop and on the far right of the picture under the gantry can be seen the entrance to the boiler shop.Note the cannon shell strikes on the wall.
Photo 1223 is i think taken inside the errecting shop i think.
Cant decide where abouts the crushed car and lorry were taken but carter paterson had a depot in the town and the buildings in te background look like the works.
Photo 1225 looks to be inside the boiler shop but cant identify where photo 1226 was taken.
