Llanfyllin
The goods shed was situated on a loop siding that was laid on a parallel alignment to the passenger station. it is a brick built structure which was built to a typical Oswestry and Newtown design for that period.
Internally it had a brick-faced wooden platform which extended the full length of the building but allowed for the single line which ran through and out to the rear to a further loading area. A bay platform was provided for on the roadside which was protected by two internal overlapping doors while a corrugated half-moon canopy ran the full length of the opening.
large sliding doors protected the front and the rear of the shed. The goods office was situated on the eastern gable with access being made via steps leading to the office door internally the office was connected to the loading platform by a communicating door.
In the final years, the goods shed road was reduced in length it being terminated a short way before the shed doors The internal platform was then extended up to the inner-facing wall and a small doorway was knocked through thus allowing for the transfer of goods to be made from the reception road.
A beautiful cameo at Llanfyllin station The driver of Ivatt 2MT class 2-6-0 No 46519 gives a quick glance as this engine backs off its stock prior to running around The human interest all adds to the scene Photographed on the 30th May 1961
