The high level goods shed nearing completion in December
1913. The shed was four hundred feet long with two bays. Under the narrower
left hand bay was a rail siding and the transhipment platform, while on the
right is a wide cartway / loading area with a granite set floor and a second
rail siding. The two long sidings, platform and cartway were provided to
facilitate the speedy transfer of market produce and although the shed provided
some protection from inclement weather, it was more important to ensure the
area was well ventilated in summer. This was achieved by the wide gap below the
corrugated sheet cladding on both sides. On the cartway floor can be seen some
prefabricated wooden panels for a small internal office building as well as
various construction materials.
