Subject: Fw: [DBY] Midland Rly Sheet Stores Long Eaton
Date: Wed, 3 Jan 2001 20:32:44 -0000


You may be right with your location Ashley, but I thought that they
were visible from the
Nottingham-Leicester line, the Stores themselves being adjacent the
Derby-Leicester line.

I would have guessed at either SK491317 or SK487319
