In 1951 when this photograph was taken, goods traffic was collected and delivered using horse drays, and some of these can be discerned at the end of the yard. The building on the left is the stables, it lasted until 1957 by which time motorised transport had replaced the horses. The grain warehouse on the right lasted a few more years.
