Adjacent to siding No 4 is a Bedford lorry being loaded with the aid of a mobile conveyor belt. Between Sidings No 3 and Siding No 4 was Coal Stacking Plot No 1 which had an area of 600 square yards and was subsequently divided into five smaller plots, one of 190 square yards, two of 100 square yards and three of unspecified sizes.
