As can be seen here the canopy on the Up platform is actually connected to the building some way above the roof edge, it was evidently also in need of repainting when these photographs were taken, (October 1999).

Looking Down the line to the West from the down platform. On the left Hamworthy Goods line to lower Hamworthy & Poole Harbour Commission's trans-shipment yards, this line was originally laid to the first Poole Station, which was nested on the side of Poole Harbour, It was renamed to Lower Hamworthy on the opening of the `new' Poole Station in 1872. On the Right is the mainline to Weymouth which was part of the original Southampton & Dorchester Railway's route to Dorchester, which arrived at Hamworthy via the castleman's corkscrew from the North.
