My Great Aunt at Albrighton

My great-aunt's name was Mina Sneath (nee Hanmer ) and her husband was Thomas Sneath. According to family story they lived at Albrighton in a converted railway carriage. Thomas was a very good gardener and made their plot into a haven. I would love to hear from anyone who knows anything about the family or indeed if the carriage. Is it still there? I suppose not, it will have been developed before now. I regret I have no knowledge of the date but probably between 1911 (census) and 1938). I don't know how long Thomas lived but Mina lived to old age, so I remember her very well. I was born 1938. Regards to all who read this,
Mike.
