View of the entrance to the Parcels Office from the down platform showing the triangular sign suspended above the doorway. The wheelbarrow is of a design unfamiliar to the writer having what appears to be two vertical rods with further rods attached to either side of the wheel's axle. It is thought that this was to allow porters to carry large boxes or pieces of luggage on the wheelbarrow with the rods preventing the load slipping off the barrow. C1930s
