The small building on the northern, platform 1, side:

Looking west along platform 2. The station building is out of use and completely covered in ivy. You can see the ivy-covered chimney poking up at the top:

The doorway into the building:

The platform 2 shelter, just west of the old building:

Looking west along the line from the end of platform 2:
