Close up of image 'smje88' showing the goods shed's side
elevation facing the railway and the entrance used by road vehicles for
transhipment. Instead of using a lintel the builder's have built the opening as
an archway in the manner used for the doors seen image 'smje13a'. The pair of doors used to secure this entrance
appear to be steel framed with timber cladding. The bottom of the doors are
approximately 3'6" above the ground being flush to the top of the platform
inside the shed. The white semi-circle at the top of the doors is thought to be
an infill rather than a decorative feature, most likely made of timber and used
to help secure the opening. With the platform inside this entrance being some
2ft-6in above rail height, this entrance would not be a secure as the two rail
entrances.
