This close up of the rebuilt station shows the supporting
steel beams appear to have been reused to support a new brick structure. The
stairs appear to have received a new small canopy at the top replacing the
original roof that covered all of the staircase despite the latter surviving
the fire.
Both of the island platforms have received new structures
too with the the right hand platform's offering toilet facilities in addition
to the waiting room whilst the left hand platform's appears to only offer a
waiting room. BR maroon corporate signs are in evidence on both structures. The
rebuilding of the left hand platform building is somewhat surprising given
evidence that it was not being used in the 1955 views.
