Goods Yard

The small goods yard was equipped with two sidings which ran to the road, one on either side; one up to the loading dock and one up to what was called the 'Sack Shed' where all the grain was stored and further down beyond the ramp where the coal was stored were two more long sidings which went up as far as the end of the wood, two sidings on the left hand side going up towards Hull and sometimes goods wagons and trains would be shunted into there. (the long sidings were an addition/alteration from the time of the SHLR. The entrance to the goods yard was along Sandy Lane on the other side of the station house from the track. There was a weigh office and weigh bridge at the rear of the yard opposite the coal drops.

The weigh office in 1942.
 
In 2010 the goods yard was being used by John Drury & Son, Coal Merchant. The yard still retains the coaldrops, although they have now been deroofed, as well as the weigh office and weigh bridge, which is complete but no longer works.
