A new goods siding was constructed on the site of the loading wharf with access at rail level. This allowed the old siding to be removed prior to the construction of a new trackbed for the new down main line as seen here on 17th January 1939. The middle open wagon is stopped directly above the site of a future set of points, which would provide the goods siding with a short head shunt. E Thomas had goods facilities at Claverdon for many years and are believed to have owned several open wagons for use with coal traffic. Their coal office can be seen here near the entrance to the goods yard adjacent to the road bridge embankment.
