Thanks Will - you may well be right.
But I cant get a bearing from your picture, and your map seems to show that there are rail sidings next to the coal depot and so no platform next to this unlabelled would-be station building. This is not a station on this evidence.

On your map, the other unmarked building on the down side, is in the corner of what is now the car park. There is fairly clearly a platform next to it that leads all the way to something that looks like a staircase to the subway.

If the downside station building was there in 1875, then it was this southern most building, imo.

Steve's map (1914) above does not cover this building, but there is a platform outside a different unlabelled building by the coal depot and indeed this now looks like a station building.

2 maps. 2 potential station sites. 2 different downside stations?

Hey, in 30yrs we'll be discussing the position of forest hill pools - under which of Roz's 21st century luxury apartment blocks it was located.
