Here’s one for all you history buffs out there!
We have recently unearthed a plan of the Oswestry station area dating 1892. It is currently owned by Paul Mottram and before him was held by his father.
It is around 10ft x 4ft and was hand drafted in 1892, it shows all the original, station buildings and engine sheds.

It also includes some interesting buildings such as the Anglo-American Oil Company, which other than fact it would later become Esso, i can’t tell you much about!
Here’s more photos so you can take a closer look!

Excellent and well-done for making these images available on-line. Would like to know more about the flour mill between the lines and the wording for the building by the Coal Stage? Thanks
Hi, i can tell you that the building next to the coal stage was the water tank, but I’m afraid i can’t tell you much about the flour mill. If i manage to dig up any history i’ll be sure to let you know.
