I have a cousin living at Murrow: her address is Front Street, Murrow....she married into a local family. I will check with her about old railway properties. Murrow was once a large railway junction and had two stations.... I have seen old photos of this junction but suspect that they may well have gone the way of so much of family history. IIRC it was a target fro WWII bombing...peopepl may be able to correct this info. Will ask my cousin about it all. It's a long time since I visited there.
