Newmarket Old Station looking very forlorn after BR demolished the main canopy. The platform on the left was always the "main" one. In latter days the platform on the right, now rather green, was used as an alternate. At the end of the platform you can see the original goods depot building: originally there was a wagon turntable that linked at 90deg across the end of the roads and off to a dock the left. The buffer stops on the far left were for a very short siding which I have been assuming was for temporary storage of a locomotive - getting to the Loco depot involved a very long wander across the main lines.
