Early photographs show the station with the overall roof. Later photographs indicate major alterations had taken place, with a westward extension of the platforms - the join is readily apparent in the back walls to the platforms today, the roof removed, extra rooms at platform level added to the west of the station master's house and alterations to the frontage of that house. Interestingly the tall decorative upper chimneys are also shown as having being removed down to the basic rectangular stacks and conventional pots installed.
