Description

The Railway Goods Shed was built around 1860 and is constructed of snecked freestone, which is notable as it contrasts with Francis Thompson's usual use of brick with stone dressings. This single-storey building features a four-bay gabled design with a pitched slate roof, oversailing eaves, and verges supported by curved wooden brackets. The sides and gables have blind pilastered bays, which also include oculi within residual pediments. The former train cart openings are flanked by short screen walls topped with cappings and timber fender posts, and there are tall double boarded doors on long hinges beneath timber lintels.

Inside, the shed retains large timber roof trusses that include king posts and diagonal braces, which likely supported a crane in the past.
