The railway lasted from 1875 to 1962. Here it looks like a tank engine is in steam by the goods shed and a rake of passenger cars is at the station platform. This view is to the south-west.

Is that a fenced Turntable pit to the imediate left?
ReplyDeleteIt seems unlikely to be a bridge railing as there is a loadingbank dirrectly opposite.

Yes it is around a turntable pit, see the close-up from 1957 taken from the air.
