Station vs goods yard

edit

The image above isn't actually the Rowsley railway station this can be found over the road in the industrial estate that is now there, I lived in Rowsley since birth so I can say that this building is actually the good shed for the railway to manchester to derby line this are of the railway was used for a goods yard, the mainline run parallel to the Derwent so wouldn't have entered this part of the complex.

They are both right and wrong - as the article points out, the original station was used as a goods yard after the new station was built for the line extension; so the pictured building was the goods shed but had been the original station building before that. --VinceBowdren (talk) 22:34, 27 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
