The tarmac area would have been the approach to the railway station many years ago but now serves the businesses that inhabit the former station building. The apartment building at centre stands just about where the railway siding was; this is St Francis Close. When the station opened in the 19th century the siding was used to transport building materials for the construction of Wellington College and then, during the 20th century, for household coal etc.
