Type and Period (1)
- GOODS YARD (Post Medieval - 1540 AD to 1900 AD)
Protected Status/Designation
- None recorded
Full Description
Friden Goods Yard has been demolished and any possible remains lie under the present-day car park, picnic area and artificial bank between the track and the car-park. The gritstone blocks marking the edge of the loading wharf are all that survive today. A photo of the 1920s (7) shows that lost structures includes a goods shed, milk stage and rail stones. On the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map (5), it appears that Friden Station was originally on the other side of the road at the current location of the brickworks. (2).
