Some views from the footbridge and rooftops – late 1970s.

 

An open window on the footbridge provides us with a view of the south end of platform 1. Photograph taken by Mel Smith

A mail train arrives at platform 2. At this time the Yard Box was still in place and can be seen on the left at the far end of platform 1. Photograph taken by Mel Smith
This is the canopy roof of platform 1 and behind a view of the upper floors and roof of the main station buildings that overlook Station Road. During a new survey (July 2014) of the station we were kindly given access by East Coast to these upper floors and so look out for further images covering this area in the future.
