The Tunnel under Ferry Hills – from the north portal – you can just see daylight through the tunnel
The Stirling Craig Building at the old Station. The Sliding Doors on the upper floor room . . .

The freight line closed in 1954 and the Railway Pier became the northern connection point for the ferries

Hungry and thirsty travellers were served at the kersey kiosk.
