I used to visit it regularly for work as it was being used as a rail welding training centre and the regional welding engineer was also based in the building.<br />The old British Rail had two rail welding training centres, the other one was in Swindon. Men travelled from all over the country to attend the welding courses and had to pass a test at the end of a week to show that they were competent and fully health and safety conscious. The standards as I recall were pretty demanding.<br />Good to see the building in a new guise and hopefully lasting a good many more years.
