Further scrutiny of the main building shows partial demolition on the right-hand side, more boarded up windows, and some arbitrary patches of crème paint. Also in evidence is a newly-slated roof, but as will soon be seen, this did not last for long. © David Glasspool
A final eastward view better illustrates the charming ''down'' side waiting shelter, with simplified canopy valance. In common with the other stations along the route, the waiting shelter has seen its window frames bricked up. The wooded area on the right, just beyond the platform, is the former site of the 1961-closed goods yard. © David Glasspool
A more recent view of the station building reveals that the blue paint scheme has succumbed to the now favoured "battleship grey" colours. It appears that someone has been helping themselves to the new slate tiles, the roof valleys showing evidence of being tampered with. Perhaps they were required for a home renovation? Further to this, the platform-facing elevation of the nearside appendix has witnessed the removal of even more bricks. © Raymond Fuell
