The Oddest Of Places

Being that I work for London Underground, today I went to survey an old disused station at Highgate in north London. At the side of the old disused track was the old station masters property. I could not help but share a picture of this quaint idyllic little property. Still in use by the retired station master and his wife to this day.

It looks like one of the "David Winter cottages" that my M-I-L collects.

No Chris not for demolition. This disused area of the station was not on the plans so we had to survey it and get it drawn on. Anyway I think I would refuse point blank to demolish it if the horrendous task was asked of me.
