The last train stopped at Wellbury Station twenty years ago, and since then the country branch line has been left to fall into disuse. But five years ago, the old station buildings (1) were sold (sell) to a young couple, Alan and Sarah Pickford. Immediately the Pickfords (2) applied (apply) to the local Council and (3) were promised (promise) a sum of money to help them with their project. Months (4) were spent (spend)planning all the details. Then their plans (5) had to be approved (have to/approve). After that, the way was clear. The Pickfords (6) had the house completely renovated (renovate) by local builders. They themselves also (7) created (create) a beautiful garden around it. They certainly had lots (8) to do (do). The task (9) seemed (seem) hopeless at first because everything was in such a poor condition, but today the old station (10) greatly is admired (admire), and it (11) is said to be (say/be) the best of its kind in the country. Many authentic railway details (12) have been preserved (preserve), and an old railway carriage (13) is now being used (now/use) as a greenhouse. The station house (14) can be visited (can/visit) by the public on weekend afternoons and holidays, but visitors (15) are asked not to come (ask/not/come) at other times as the Pickfords are not keen on (16) being disturbed (disturb) during the week.
