The Barry Railway General Manager, Edward Lake, told the Railway Magazine: Other provisions for dealing with merchandise traffic have not been lost sight of. Along the south side of dock No. 2 has been erected a commodious transit shed with cellarage and ground and upper floors, and bonded stores, of 500 ft. long and 156 ft. wide.

At present the store is capable of accommodating 80,000 carcasses of sheep and other goods, and is capable of being largely extended.
