15 Ramsgate

Is 11 Rowsley on the Midland's Derby-Manchester main line?

I also thought 8 was Leeds, but it isn't. Right '30s period, though...

I think you will find it is somewhat later than 1930's .....

15 is Ramsgate, correct!

We're still in the first 24 hours, please note the request in the OP▸ (Original Poster / topic starter, or Off Peak, depending on context). As a relative newbie I'll let you off the multiple guesses, seeing as only one was correct.  Tongue

To be fair, this remodelled station building does date in part from the 1930s.

I did not know that I thought the bit shown was entirely from the 1974 rebuild. Are any 1930's bits visible in that photo?
