To the west of the platforms are a trio of sidings which are situated on the level relative to the running lines, the latter of which fall at a 1 in 105 gradient. This was the former site of the LC&DR's carriage and engine shed, and then, after 1928, the Southern Railway's goods yard. The tired-looking pitched roof structure on the right is the SR's original goods shed. © David Glasspool

The pitched-roof building on the far left is the former goods shed, which has been fenced off from the rest of the expanse and the area immediately surrounding it cleared.
