Marchington Depot and Barracks - Staffordshire - August 08

[KingElvis]

This is what remains of Marchington Central Vehicle Depot and Barracks. Closed sometime in the 1980s it's a strange place with some bizarre slogans plastered over the walls.

Well worth a visit, the place is in quite good condition if a little stripped. I don't think I have seen the telephone exchange in any other reports on this place but I may be wrong.

Visited with Squirrel68
