An email from Chris Benton,
September 2006 :
. . . . I have now started a new collection
of St Boswells photo's. Most will have been seen already
but I've never seen (on the site up to yet ) the exterior of (old) Melrose
Railway station with its unique chimney pots. The railway line itself
was closed in the 60s, courtesy of Dr Beeching. However, the station
building (now an Italian Restaurant) and the exterior (presumably listed
buildings) including adverts for (Woodbine, Frys Chocolate Brooke Bond
Tea etc) remain the same save for a lick of paint as they were in the
50s.
The following is a selection of the photos
