I have something similar. It's a pity we don't know more about the vaults given they are still there after a fashion.

Love that view. Original station still there on the south side. New building replaced similar structure on the north as per Calvert's print.

Having trouble parsing the facade reference. Unclear as to whether it's part of the original or modified station. I assume view of 2-3 viaduct arches was obliterated by the Ordsall Chord. Working hypothesis is that the stables were subdivided but presumably best practice reflected the coaching trade

uh oh, I had seen it but missed the reference to "later structure". I assume that means the facade isn't 1837. Pity but thanks anyway.

Same. 🙃

Dunno whether they got lost but had a couple passing through Royden this morning at a fairly startling gallop. Thing of wonder.

Oops! I meant that the roadway arches could be accessed via the viaduct arches. Also, it's conceivable that the larger street-level door might have been for larger horses used for shunting rather than a first-class exit.

Updated again. I've basically come round to the view that the roadway arches (green) are indeed distinct from those of the viaduct (as suggested by views of Smoult and Shaw) though they do partially overlap those under the viaduct and hence could provide access to the arches under the roadway.
