Default Question about Broad Street

wrote:
The station was "round the back" of the building. Along side the
side facing Dukes Avenue at SW end of that side of the building.

It actually remained in BR ownership and use for some years after
final
closure, being used by staff researching issues surrounding paint
weathering.

It, the research station, is shown in one of the BTF 'Report on
Modernisation' films, either No.1 or 2. They are shown testing samples
of lubricating oils from Diesel locomotives, using a huge spectrometer.
