Site Description
Level Crossing.The former signal cabin, complete with track side nameboard is on the Up side between the level crossing and the platforms of the former station, which closed in 1963. The running line serves the Up platform on which, there is the remains of a water tower. The crossing loop serves the Down platform on which is the former station building. There was previously a trailing siding off this on the approach to the station and a facing siding at the Westport end of this. The former goods area, which had a goods store and loading bank, is at the Westport end on the Down side. The goods store has been adaptively reused as a house. Midway along the platforms, there is a staff level crossing.Photographs
