Lost buildings of 2018 Charnwood Forest Railway Goods Shed

The blog in 2019 seems to have started with a bit of a theme - lost buildings of 2018. Surely there can't be that many, can there?! Last week we had a look at the poor building on Granby Street (I've added a photo of how the site looks in January 2019) and the week before we looked at the demise of the Royal George pub on Nottingham Road. 

 Today there follows a pictorial history of the remnants of the Charnwood Forest Railway buildings (I hope I've got it right and it is the goods shed!) and the re-development of the site up to this week, when the new Lidl supermarket seems to be close to being ready to open. 

 It was in August 2018 when I visited the site that the foreman told me the story of the two German brothers who fell out and created rival supermarkets (Aldi and Lidl) which is why you often find both supermarkets close to each other. Well, since I was told this, I've checked it out and it turns out to be one of those urban myths!! In reality there are 2 branches of Aldi, run by brothers who may have fallen out about something, while Lidl is a completely different company.
