Knapford Yards is a small shunting yard located at Knapford.
History[]
Since 1956, Knapford Yards - along with the station - has been located north of the River Els as part of Sir Charles Topham Hatt II's Knapford Harbour Development Scheme. The yards are rather small and only consist of a few sidings, with small coal bunkers and a water column located nearby on the station platform. In 1959, the signal box was damaged when Donald reversed into it tender-first.
