Stanley. This is a picture of the goods shed that you referred to in the
recent street map on here. For many years it was used by Fyffes as a
ripening and distribution depoy.

Thanks for posting Ray, this photo brought back memories of seeing this Fyffes building and also the railway sidings you could see when crossing the iron bridge that was a link between North West Station and King Street, I'm sure there were also Fyffes advertising signs hanging from metal gantries over the rail lines of these sidings.

Ray, I remember this well, as a very small child, I, (and plenty other kids) thought that bananas were actually made there!
