I don’t think the latest points deal with the query. The old station is some distance away and I know where the old station building foundations are so it’s nothing to do with that (the label on streetview is just poorly associated because there is no disused station actually drawn). The access to the station from the current end of Midland Road only went up as far as the station and didn’t go as far as this plot of land. When the station was open there was a footpath down from Anchorage Road but that’s long since gone.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>The building in question appears to have been initially built sometime between 1889 and 1903 according to old-maps.co.uk. In 1903 it looks like it was accessed from a track that basically ran where Rockingham Gardens runs today and then via the plot at No. 11. All of the building on the 1903 appears in its own little cell suggesting that originally it was all one dwelling or set of farm buildings. By 1914 the building had grown but it’s even less clear how it was accessed even then. By 1938 the building seems to belong to four separate plots of land and the triangular plot is somewhat subdivided. In the 1960’s it appears with less detail and many property boundaries missing in the area, in fact it looks like the whole plot where the south half of Rockingham Gardens now is belonged to number 42 Anchorage Road and included the north part of our puzzling building. The south/west part of the building doesn’t appear on the 1960’s map.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>I like a good mystery.
