To the east of the "up" platform is the site of the goods yard which was heavily used for the stone traffic from the sandstone quarries at St Bees in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It also handled the traffic from Walker's scone flour works and pickle factory, and the luggage traffic for St Bees School at the beginning and end of term. The yard is now a public car park which is subsidised for free public use by the Parish Council. The coal yard was off the down line on the north side of the level crossing.
