An imaginary collection of sidings serving a variety of industries which have grown up around a basin at the end of a spur of the Bigglesbury Canal.
The canal traffic is in bitter decline but the Morry & Lucy Tanier narrow boat repair shed and associated engineering works are still in business opposite the imposing warehouse of Rawlings Fabrications. The small coal yard of Burns & Co and the cattle dock are close to S P Linter & Son timber yard which has recently been taken over by the International Pine Association. It will not be long before IPA signs are seen here.
A collection of industrial buildings at the rail side are accessible from the town and the scene is completed with the single track branch to the main line disappearing through Abbotslow tunnel to the mainline at Pelham St Edmunds.
The vast majority of the buildings are scratch built with a few heavily bashed kits interspersed.
