Close up of image 'mrcgy915' showing some of the additional 1896 siding accommodation including a furniture-van dock and cattle pens. The new siding accommodation cost an estimated £2,900 and marked the virtual completion of fifteen years of work since the Midland Railway had first proposed goods traffic on this site. This close up shows the timber was protected both in transit and in the siding by tarpaulins.
