There were two rectangular buildings which made the railway station. The station was made of timber and clad and had two brick chimneys. The building only partially survives as of November 14, 2013.[3]

gollark: People are generally *kind of bad*.

gollark: I'm not sure about that.

gollark: Unless god and satan don't provide very good rates... perhaps they've been outcompeted by modern mass production.

gollark: But presumably, if you could get 100000 Doritos™ a month by having a factory of people worship god or sacrifice goats to Satan, this would be used by people.

gollark: ... no.
