Facilities When Open
The station itself had three platforms - up, towards York, the West platform; down toward Beverly, the East platform, and a bay off the West side. The Station House building is on the down (East) side, consisting of two waiting rooms, and the Stationmaster's office. Also on the site was a two-road goods shed, which backed onto the down platform. The large yard between the goods shed and the station building served as a holding area for goods received or pending dispatch. Stamford Bridge had a relatively short throat by NER standards, between the end of the platforms and the Viaduct is only about 600yards.

Famous quotes containing the words facilities and/or open:
“I have always found that when men have exhausted their own resources, they fall back on “the intentions of the Creator.” But their platitudes have ceased to have any influence with those women who believe they have the same facilities for communication with the Divine mind as men have.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“The novelist is required to open his eyes on the world around him and look. If what he sees is not highly edifying, he is still required to look. Then he is required to reproduce, with words, what he sees.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
