Looking in plan view you can see how a range of buildings on Station Hill were built in the Victorian era along a set of branch lines curving off the main line. Some of the buildings, such as the wooden one on the left, are even curved to match. The very 1960s office block on the left was a seed company, long closed. The very 60s building on the right occupies the site of the goods shed, and has housed several businesses since - currently a furniture warehouse and children's play centre.
