Railway Clearing House diagram of lines in Leeds in 1913. Hunslet Lane (by this time a goods station) is shown in green in the lower centre.
Designed by Francis Thompson, the trainshed consisted of an iron roof in four spans, with five lines running into it. Three of the lines were used for stabling carriages not in use under the central span, and each outer span had one line with a platform 300 yards (274 m) long. Turntables were provided at each end and the offices on the western side were fronted by an arcade with an arch surmounted with the arms of Leeds, Sheffield and Derby.[2]
It was shared by the Manchester and Leeds Railway, which ran on the NMR tracks from just north of Normanton since Parliament had refused to sanction two lines running side by side.
It was replaced by the Midland Railway in 1846 by Leeds Wellington railway station[3] and became a goods depot which closed in 1972. The site is now occupied by the Crown Point Retail Park, which opened in 1989.
