It was the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, rather than the NER, that was really big in Goole. Whilst the passenger station belonged to the NER, the LYR had the all-important line from Castleford, and also owned all the lines into the Docks. This fine Goods Office is of an appropriate size. Part of it is now used as a bar - I very much hope the rest of it has listed status.
