Yes, it's Barton alright. And with the old D/F aerial on top. The cut off bolt heads still stick up through the roof.

An interesting tale to do with Railway A/s and Barton involves the late Sandy Jack who saw out his last few years at Barton helping out with a/c maintenance at Barton Moss Engineering.

He had been taken on by Railway A/s in the 30's as their Chief? Engineer having started flying in an Avro 504 spotting fish for his father's fishing boat.

He later worked at Avros Woodford putting Lancasters together.

So I suppose this photo represents the start of a full circle for dear old Sandy.
