Goldsborough is one of 40 WW2 cold stores. Those at Hexham and Loughborough were later converted into RGHQ's and have now been demolished. The cold store at Llandudno Junction was considered for the RGHQ for North Wales but never used.

Goldsborough is an identical building and is still in use as a commercial cold store. It stands alongside the Harrogate - York railway line. The rail connection has been severed although the track is still in situ alongside the platform.

Those taking part in the visit were Nick Catford, Keith Ward, Jason Blackiston, Robin Ware & Robin Cherry
