![I was in Ross on 10 September and happened to stop at a garden centre. I was very surprised to see that the main shop is inside the erstwhile engine shed [see image 30119]. The lady on the till said that lumps of soot still fall from time to time! [See image 36285]<br><br>[John Thorn 10/09/2011]](/images/36000/36282.jpg "Ross-on-Wye")

![My wife insisted there would be nothing to see at Ross, as the station closed 52 years ago. She went a bit quiet when we found the goods shed, complete with lifelike mural of steam engine and van. I first saw this mural over 20 years ago, so it must have been looked after. For the other end of the shed, [see image 55459]<br><br>[Ken Strachan 17/09/2016]](/images/56000/56593.jpg "Ross-on-Wye")
