As you can see from the last photo, still need to complete the coal yard, and the station approach in the background.
Quick question (famous last words?). When I woz but a lad, I`m sure these were referred to by 00 modellers as `coal staithes`, and yet I have a feeling a staithe is really where coal is loaded into ships ........ Any views on this?
