Whilst it is a given that the best thing to do with an old railway station is renovate and re-open it, what do you think has been the most imaginative use of the building if that is not possible?
Bevan Price, 142094, Paul Sidorczuk and I, have, in another thread, observed that in so many of our towns and cities, old station land has been been used as a car-park or for the building of a new supermarket/shopping retail area. But what has been a more imaginative, unusual use?
To start the ball rolling, Walsingham station is now used by the Russian Orthodox Church for worship and as a monastic centre; Manchester Central station as an exhibition centre. Can you cite any other examples?
