Not entirely true - Newport Station existed for some time after track was torn up as a Red Star Parcels depot. IWCC and a road orientated county surveyor used compulsory purchase order to buy and demolish it. Eventually this same council would build a "relief road to relieve a relief road" at Coppins Bridge because they couldn't get £26 million to build a Medina Crossing.

Yes, filmed with my mother's Zeiss Ikon. It was Grey in colour, rectangular in shape & it had a built in exposure meter which I think you controlled with the left hand.
