View of the new canopy installed by the LMS to provide protection to staff involved in the transfer of goods between rail and road from inclement weather seen on 23rd September 1934. The single storey transfer shed was located on the ground floor with the two storey warehouse located above. The equipment to move the wagons and goods around the warehouse included 19 cranes, 12 jiggers, 1 hoist, 28 capstans and 8 traversers. All were hydraulically operated and powered by two pairs of powerful engines.
