A Pictorial History of the construction of the Broadway Station Building 2015

Whilst I was looking through the old blogs I thought there must have been enough photos taken to show a pictorial time line of the building of the station.

I have concentrated on just the building , there was lots happening around the site before the start of construction , Signal box build , Platform 2 and The foot bridge erection etc.

Pictures were taken from the various blogs supplied by various volunteers.

And so back to April 2015
