County Gate buildings

The station building at County Gate follows the general design (Nuremburg Style) as buildings on the original railway. We allowed for some small changes as we felt this would have happened on a later section with a new local builder. The Harbour Authority buildings are in keeping with typical buildings of that period.

ex WD 2-6-2 Alco over the pit for maintenance. The Baldwin is steaming up. The shed is equipped with an inspection pit and machine tools.

This building is typical of the period, with an extension in brick and 'King Corrugated' built at a later date.

Goods shed

County Gate goods yard. Westmacotte coal merchants lease a small site alongside. A Langley AEC Majestic, operated by Porlock Haulage, is loading empty milk churns outside.

Station

This is typical L & B architecture in 'Nuremburg style'.
