The buildings which formed the Goods Station and Passenger Station are now the property of the Kimberley Breweries. (2)

The water mill was at the side of the Green Brook. This was at a place now occupied by the Old Midland Railway Station…The mill went under the name of Lindley's Mill... In 1845 the mill house was converted into two houses. These were demolished (c.1865) to make way for the railway. (2)
