Standing Building Recording (17 May 2022)
NX 72870 66930 The historic building survey enabled the recording of the surviving elements of the Crossmichael Station Goods Yard. The survey allowed for the identification of the signal box, both the Up and Down Platforms and the loading platform of the sidings. All other buildings relating to the good yards, identified on historic mapping or LiDAR, were not observed on the ground due to the heavy overgrowth of woody vegetation and weeds
