- gives position within street. Numbering on 1957 1:2500 OS map doesn't tally, so suspect road renumbered when Gosbrook Street and Gosbrook Road were combined. Approximate location ascertained from relative position. Believe station was adjoining building that is now number 47 (where lean to garage now stands) between there and 45/43 (named Sussex Place on front of building). Brickwork is cleaner above where roof line of station would have been.

Station not marked on available maps May 2011
