It looks as if Mary Anglin is correct.... As I remember ( we railway men ) took breaks there.....and spent many a happy time up the King Teddy (as we called it), you walked up a slope to it from the station. We used to go in the door on the left of the building, the main door at the front lead into a posh lounge.
