Close up of image 'lnwrfo1505' showing the carriage sidings which lay between platform 3 on the left and the goods yard on the right. By the middle 1950s goods traffic was in serious decline with often only the transportation of coal to coal merchants keeping many railway goods yards occupied. The introduction of the Clean Air Act together with other changes meant that this too was under threat. However in late 1957 there is still evidence that at the far of this yard some coal merchants are still trading.
