Nelson - - - 17/6/1921 The office is now 12 feet by 8 feet and most of the floor space is occupied by furniture.  It is requested the office space be made 12 feet by 16 feet to give sufficient room to work and for a fireplace.

Nelson - - - 16/1/1929 Fire in railway social hall. Nelson – Foxhill Railway Nelson Section W2382, 039 WRD Nelson S 35125
Nelson - - - 25/2/1929 Five sets of points leading off the main line at north end of station are “Woods” locked. Nelson – Foxhill Railway Nelson Section R3, 29/395 WRD Nelson S 35126
Nelson - - - 25/2/1929 If the fitting of the Up home signal will not entail much expense, recommending the fitting be arranged. Nelson – Foxhill Railway Nelson Section R3, 29/395 WRD Nelson S 35127
Nelson - - - 25/2/1929 Owing to the presence of Gloucester Street at south end of Nelson station and the use of gates to control road and rail traffic with street crossing, the making up of trains has to be performed at north end of station. Nelson – Foxhill Railway Nelson Section R3, 29/395 WRD Nelson S 35128
Nelson - - - 25/2/1929 Two of the five roads in question are continuously in use when making up trains and the existing method of using one key retards the shunting work and causes delay and last minute rushes. Nelson – Foxhill Railway Nelson Section R3, 29/395 WRD Nelson S 35129
Nelson - - - 5/6/1929 The fitting of an additional Woods key to the Up home signal at Nelson is approved.  Cost £5. Nelson – Foxhill Railway Nelson Section R3, 29/395 WRD Nelson S 35130
Nelson - - - 13/2/1933 The idea is to treat that portion of the line between Nelson and Port as part of Nelson yard in so far as shunting services are concerned. Nelson – Foxhill Railway Nelson Section R3, 29/395 WRD Nelson S 35131
Nelson - - - 13/2/1933 When the Woods lock were installed in Nelson yard passenger services were running between Nelson and the Port, but now only goods shunting services operate between these points.  Five “A” Woods locks are at the present time installed and control Port end of yard and it is considered that, as only shunting services are run, these locks are unnecessary. Nelson – Foxhill Railway Nelson Section R3, 29/395 WRD Nelson S 35132
Nelson - - - 16/3/1933 The removal of the “A” Woods locks at the Port end of the Nelson station yard is approved. Nelson – Foxhill Railway Nelson Section R3, 29/395 WRD Nelson S 35133
Nelson - - - 5/6/1936 It is considered the expense of moving the signal further out is warranted at present. Nelson – Foxhill Railway Nelson Section R3, 29/395 WRD Nelson S 35134
Nelson - - - 5/6/1936 It is only on special occasions, such as when meat specials are being run, that there is any possibility of any other trains being run on this section of line at all. Nelson – Foxhill Railway Nelson Section R3, 29/395 WRD Nelson S 35135
Nelson - - - 5/6/1936 The home signal at the south end of Nelson station, a Woods locked station, is situated only 35 yards from the main line points. Nelson – Foxhill Railway Nelson Section R3, 29/395 WRD Nelson S 35136
Nelson - - - 5/6/1936 The traffic on this Section is very light and the only occasions in  normal periods, that shunting is performed outside main line points is when No – 4.30pm Nelson – Glenhope train, Friday only – is being made up, and when shunting Neale & Hadow's siding. Nelson – Foxhill Railway Nelson Section R3, 29/395 WRD Nelson S 35137
Nelson - - - 6/12/1943 Accommodation fixed signals, passenger platform (right side of line), cart approach to platform, station building, goods shed 60ft x 30ft, loading bank, 2 No 2-ton outside cranes, weighbridge, engine shed. Nelson – Foxhill Railway Nelson Section W 3337 WRD Nelson S 35138
Nelson - - - 23/9/1945 Approval for verandah over goods shed door for protection against rain whilst loading, estimated cost £65. Nelson – Foxhill Railway Nelson Section W3199, 08/2873 WRD Nelson S 35139
Nelson - - - 15/10/1946 Goods shed is 60 feet by 30 feet (floor space 16 feet deep). Nelson – Foxhill Railway Nelson Section W3199, 08/2873 WRD Nelson S 35140
Nelson - - - 15/10/1946 Goods shed office is 16 feet long, 11 feet 9 inches wide at one part and 9 feet 6 inches at the other. Nelson – Foxhill Railway Nelson Section W3199, 08/2873 WRD Nelson S 35141
Nelson - - - 15/10/1946 Railway station: district office 23 feet 6 inches by 9 feet 0 inches, booking and parcels office 15 feet 6 inches by 13 feet 6 inches, and parcels – luggage storage room 20 feet 0 inches by 13 feet 0 inches. Nelson – Foxhill Railway Nelson Section W3199, 08/2873 WRD Nelson S 35142
Nelson - - - 20/10/1947 It is understood all movements between the Port and Nelson are under the control of a shunter who pilots the entrance of these services in the Port and Nelson yards. Nelson – Foxhill Railway Nelson Section R3, 29/395 WRD Nelson S 35143
Nelson - - - 20/10/1947 The Up home signal at Nelson has been disconnected from the main signal frame for many years and train from the Port are flagged past by a shunter. Nelson – Foxhill Railway Nelson Section R3, 29/395 WRD Nelson S 35144
Nelson - - - 4/12/1947 As all the shunting roads in Nelson yard come off the main line at the northern end, bringing the Up home signal back into operation would entail the protection of six sets of points, from which the Woods locks were removed some years ago, otherwise these points would have to be secured before the signal could be set at proceed. Nelson – Foxhill Railway Nelson Section R3, 29/395 WRD Nelson S 35145
Nelson - - - 4/12/1947 This would ensure control was retained over all trains entering Nelson from the Port and should meet the situation. Nelson – Foxhill Railway Nelson Section R3, 29/395 WRD Nelson S 35146
Nelson - - - 4/12/1947 Would suggest a suitably worded “STOP” board be placed just beyond the outer most set of points, indicating all trains must be brought to a stop at that point, and must not move until receipt of a hand signal from the platform, when they would be piloted into the yard by the shunter. Nelson – Foxhill Railway Nelson Section R3, 29/395 WRD Nelson S 35147
