Former Goods Shed 20 Metres North Of The Old Station

The former goods shed, located 20 meters north of the Old Station, was built around 1900 for the London and North Western Railway (LNWR). It is now used as a lorry maintenance bay. The building features weatherboarding, a Lakeland green slate roof, and a partly glazed roof. It has one octagonal brick chimney with stone dressings. The rectangular structure has canopies that extend from each long side, which were previously over a siding and are adorned with a fringe of tongued wooden pieces. Behind the canopies, there are pairs of large sliding wooden doors at platform level. The north side includes a pair of hinged doors, while the south end has a small access door that is approached by steps. Inside, there is a single large room with an office in one corner, supported by kingpost roof trusses. This building is an unusually well-preserved and rare example of a local goods shed, which were once common.
