About SideTracked
We have Motorway Mayhem. But what about public transport users? SideTracked caches are intended to provide quick Cache-and-Dashes at Train Stations.
It is hoped this idea will spread across the country in the same way as the MMs…. If hiding one PLEASE BE SENSIBLE and remember that in this day and age, public transport is under greater scrutiny than ever before, so, although these caches should be quick and easy grabs, PLEASE don’t place a Cache where it could cause alarm.
Stroud's railway station was opened in 1845. It was built to the designs of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, as was the nearby Goods Shed, which is now a listed building.
In 1914, the station was rebuilt, and the timber platform awnings were added.
Construction of the railway involved the demolition of two houses at the bottom of Rowcroft and the lowering of the road so that traffic could get under the railway bridge. Bath Place was cut off from the town centre, and thereafter failed to develop as a residential area.
