Summary : The Western Goods Shed was built in 1897-9 for the Great Northern Railway Company to provide a separate facility for outwards goods traffic at its chief depot, the King's Cross Goods Yard. Designed by the company's Chief Engineer, Alexander Ross, as a simple two-level shed of about 380ft (115m) by 170ft (52m) in extent with tracks entering on both floors, it was sited over, and made partial structural use of a disused canal basin. Circa 1915 the high-level shed was extended northwards through the construction of a range of timber-framed north-lit trusses.
