Hockley Station: gwrhd673

The new Amenities Block located in the north-west corner of the goods yard between 'Top' shed and Pitsfield Street

The new Amenities Block located in the north-west corner of the goods yard between 'Top' shed and Pitsfield Street. The building was very 'functional' and, in the writers opinion, characterless compared to the architecture adopted by railways in general prior to the First World War. The building initially housed the porters, checkers and loaders mess rooms on the first floor, and the pay office and various stores on the ground floor.
