The photos of the tender having the wheels attended to - 7802 Bradley Manor's tender?

My mistake. It was the mention of the work being carried out by Erlestoke Manor Fund volunteers that threw me. Now corrected. --Graham Phillips 110 (talk) 21:09, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

Pattern shop

Is there still one? I thought it was removed with the old containers?--Patrick Hearn (talk) 18:10, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

I'd be a little surprised if it was completely gone. For some reason, I thought it was in the main building, somewhere around the border of the main shed and the boiler shop, but that is about where the containers are... --Danny252 (talk) 18:51, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
Yes, we still have an active pattern shop and store, located nearby Madderlake (talk) 08:22, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

Exeter Sheds and other buildings

These prefabricated concrete sheds, situated behind the boiler shop, were used for stores. They were demolished as part of the car park project. The oil store building and Hanbury's Cottage (an old, can't remember ther date, OSOrdnance Survey map has it as Ambrose cottage) could also do with mention. I don't know enough to help.

I've added Hanbury Cottage under points of interest on the main Bridgnorth page. If it is still used by the MPDMotive Power Depot then we can refer to it and add a link from this page. I've briefly mentioned the oil store; it could do with its own picture but I don't think I've ever photographed it. I can't really add details on the Exeter sheds, maybe someone else has more info on them> --Robin (talk) 16:16, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
I recall reading on Nat Pres disappointment at the removal of the Exeter sheds as genuine, pre-preservation, features but that thread is contradictory. They are mentioned here in 2012 (p. 16) and a record of their demolition is on the dormant [https://twitter.com/SVREngsteam/status/265400068369166336/photo/1 SVRSevern Valley Railway Engineering Twitter feed in November 2012--Patrick Hearn (talk) 17:24, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
