Description

Given three sidings. Peculiar raised section at N end of each platform. Large WD marshalling yard built to the N in 1941. <1>
Shown on 2nd edition of Ordnance Survey 1:2500 map. However only single platform with station building shown. <2>
All evidence of the station, station building and the lines have been removed. All that remains is the N wall to the underbridge and embankment, almost hidden by the encroaching trees and vegetation. <3>
