This close up of image 'lnwrcov1282a' shows the parcels
siding including the wagon turntable installed on the right hand siding. The
depth of the recess and the substantial retaining walls employed would suggest
that this was used to transfer road carriages from railway flat trucks. Just
visible to the right of the wagon turntable is an original model of lamppost
indicating that the facility was provided at least ten years or more
previously. The dark shape of an angled bar seen inside the wall of
theturntable is possibly a lever used to lock the turntable to allow wagons to
exit the siding. The pathway behind is not paved so would appear to be a short
cut used by passengers and staff from the original station building on Warwick
Road.
