Description
The Goods Shed at Canterbury West Railway Station was built around 1860 and has undergone later alterations and extensions. It is constructed of red brick, with some sections altered and extended in yellow brick, and features a corrugated asbestos roof. The east and west elevations originally each had six semi-circular lights at the top of tall blind arches, with three lights on each side of a central wide segmentally arched blind opening. The west elevation remains largely unaltered, while the east elevation has been modified with later doors and includes a 19th or early 20th-century railway valance canopy.
Both the north and south gable ends have two wide segmental entries, with three of these four entries fitted with boarded doors. The north gable has a boarded canopy over the central loading bay. There is a single-storey extension on the south side, featuring a hipped concrete tile roof and sash windows in the side elevations. The south entrance elevation has a sash window on the left and a flight of stone and brick steps leading up to the right-hand side, where there is a half-glazed door.
