Close up showing the sidings and goods yard built in the late 19th century

This close up of image 'gwrls237' shows the sidings and goods yard built in the late 19th century. The cattle wagons have been bleached white with the disinfectant and lime used to sanities the wagon after use. On the end of the nearest wagon under the 'G' is word 'Large' indicating that this is the larger cattle wagon supplied by the GWR. The sign on the right includes references to the 'Anglo American' and Royal Daylight' and 'White Rose' companies which would seem to indicate that to the right of the camera and out of sight was the oil depot.
