Has anyone got any idea what the 'Rowntrees' sidings were used for 'Before' Rowentrees warehouse opened. I'm thinking they may have been used as a drop off sidings for wagons for Wood Green, IE, coal, sand, General stuff. Before Rowentrees warehouse, the area was only 'Allotments'. Thanks for any help.

The route of the 'Khyber Pass' on the Down side of the running lines beyond Wood Green could still be seen from passing trains during the late 1960s and into the early 1970s except that the track had been lifted throughout but the ballast still remained through the 'Khyber Pass' from a faded memory.

Except for the bogie OCT with a tarpaulin over its load?
