Please see Image for details of the station. This long corrugated shed was evidently part of the station infrastructure, possibly as a carriage shed for the terminus of the line, or possibly as a goods shed, although such a facility certainly existed on the other side of the station. More than 50 years after the station was closed completely to goods traffic at the start of 1961, and remembering that it would not have been new then, the shed roof remains in remarkably good condition.
