Horton's coal office on the corner of London Road and Hortons Way in April 2014. The building is confusingly called 'Station House' (black sign below the window). When the building was sold recently the agent's sale particulars stated ' A detached single storey building which we understand was built in 1878 as the station master's day house' This is totally untrue, there is no such thing as a stationmaster's day house. The stationmaster lived in a normal two-storey house at 46 Maden Road. The coal office was built in 1903 and is now used as a beauty salon. The other single storey wooden buildings along Hortons Way had no direct railway connection.
