Station Name: YARMOUTH SOUTH TOWN
 The interior of South Town station building sometime during the period BR rented the building out. This view is looking towards the forecourt but at the inner wall. The white lines would have been post railway and to segregate storage and movement areas although this does not appear to have been rigidly adhered to. Buffet facilities can be seen but accommodation and facilities appear basic! The doorway through which daylight can be seen led into the stationmaster's clerk's office, beyond which was the stationmaster's office. To the left of the 'daylight doorway' the first archway had been a door to and from the 1952 waiting and refreshment room while the next two bricked-up arches had contained windows. All three had been bricked-up at an unknown time, probably when the station became an unstaffed halt and space inside was rented out. The two doorways, right and centre, which retain their double doors had led from the booking hall to the concourse. The doorway on the right has a 'Private' sign on it; it was not original to this door for obvious reasons but may well have been a railway sign moved from elsewhere on the station.
