A view from the other side of the photo above. The remains of the grading plant looking from the trackbed of the standard gauge railway sidings. The wagons would be shunted along here for loading from the limestone bins above.

One of the graders clearly shows the differing size holes along its length. As it turned round, the different size stones dropped out at different points along it's length.

Since 2012 when these photos were taken, the station area had been sold for housing, cleared and a new housing estate now stands on this site just north of the A14. All traces of the limestone grading and transhipment point have now gone. However, the narrow gauge line supplying the limestone to the standard gauge travelled roughly south east and much of this had not been disturbed when the A14 was built.
