Description

This goods yard was half a mile east of Port Glasgow station. It no longer exists and its site had been robbed for a road system.

The yard was on the south side of the line and approached from the east. To its east was a large group of storage sidings. North of the line was the approach to the Newark Shipyard (known as Fergusons).

Approach to these sidings was from Port Glasgow Junction.

The Gourock Rope Works was to the west of the goods yard, located on either side of the line.
