Crewe Class 24

Class 24 24063 at Crewe South with snowplough on 2nd Feb 1979, I think it was withdrawn from service a few weeks after this photo was taken.

Note the high rise building in the background, I think it was called Rail House (or something like that) which I was always led to believe was owned by Shell, although I do stand to be corrected on these points. Is it still there today ?

The avoiding lines ran in a dip behind the embankment shown, once again....are they still there ? It's many years since I was employed by the S & T at Crewe (next to the Motive Power Depot).
