View from the signal box looking towards the front of the MR goods shed which had an open doorway and windows. The line to the right of the shed divided into two; to the right for road vehicles via the carriage landing and to the left for the livestock pens. Access by road vehicle to both the yard and the shed was via the roadway to the left of the goods shed. There was an loading dock with a short canopy situated in the shed's side elevation. The internal fixed crane was positioned so that it could lift loads directly from rail wagons on to road vehicles. Out of view on the left opposite the goods shed was the yard's Weigh Bridge and Weigh Office, a facility which was open to the public as well as used by merchants based in the yard.
