What is recorded here

Detached three-bay double-height goods shed, built c.1880. Pitched slate roof with cut limestone copings, and single brick chimneystack, and with stone brackets to support cast-iron gutters. Coursed rubble limestone walls with squared quoins. Tall round arches to gable ends to allow trains to enter building for loading and unloading. Two wide segmental-arch doorways to road elevation, with ashlar limestone voussoirs and timber battened double-leaf doors, and slightly cambered window opening with brick surround, sill, and one-over-one pane timber sliding sash window.
This goods shed is a very good example of its type and is quite intact. It has a variety of openings for different purposes and was an essential part of the infrastructure and commercial viability of the railway in an earlier era.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
