A side view of Henley-in-Arden's original goods shed now seen in a derelict state after the tracks in the yard were lifted in 1964. The door on the left was used by road transport as the track inside the shed was on the other side of the building. The road and rail entrances were enclosed with heavy sliding doors mounted on overhead runners and required two men to move them. The forecourt entrance door, unusually offset, enclosed a loading bay in the internal platform which, by the 1950s, was devoted to the storage of animal feedstuffs. This traffic was later handled by the storage shed seen in image 'gwrha1423'. The photographer has their back to the embankment which carried the connecting line from the yard to the new station on the North Warwickshire line.
