History
Probably of circa 1852, original goods shed built for South Wales Railway and possibly designed by I K Brunel, supervising engineer for S W Railway and GWR.
Exterior
Long single storey shed in blue lias rubble with slate roof. West end office block attached, 2-storey but mostly of later date, and early C20 iron shed extension at east end. Original shed has cambered-headed windows set high in north and west walls, with rock-faced voussoirs, stone sills and iron glazing bars, 13, irregularly spaced, to south side and 15 to north. North side has 4 large ground floor openings, 3 to left altered with iron lintels, the fourth probably original with timber lintel and timber valanced canopy. West end of shed has track entry with iron lintel. East end is open into later east extension.
Broad platform between track and N wall, possibly altered. Office block to west is 2-storey, 5-window range with corrugated iron roof, sash windows and rock-faced stone lintels. Change in stone colour suggests that all but 2 bays of ground floor is later addition. Brick stacks.
Condition is deteriorating.
Interior
Retains complete original 17-bay roof structure of pine roof trusses with queen-posts, collars and diagonal bracing between posts. Trusses support in horizontal plane a big centre longitudinal beam with fixings for pulleys etc, braced by big diagonal horizontal beams. Boarded roof.
