At this time private sidings served a milk factory and the Town Mills on the north side of the station and a gravel pit to and malthouse to the south. By 1922 the two sidings on the north side had been lifted. The gravel pit to the south was disused; the siding was still there but it had been shortened. Only the malthouse siding was still in use.
