These sidings appear to be dedicated to horse traffic. The road beyond is called Old Station Road, so perhaps it is the old passenger station converted. One set of the Newmarket gallops are just across the road, the railway passing under them in a tunnel.

The wagon turntable would allow open wagons to be pushed (possibly by hand) under the sack hoist on the side of the brewery building for unloading/loading. There is the suggestion of a capstan next to the turntable which might have been used to pull wagons out of the siding with a rope.

Don't think it was a Brewery, more likely a Maltings, there were several in town but only one brewery and that was the other side of the High Street.

These two Great Eastern Railway vans seem to be standing on what looks like a set of coal drops, a siding with the rails on a wooden frame that allows coal to be dropped out of the bottom of wagons. However there is no evidence of coal so perhaps they are 'grain drops' linked to the neighbouring brewery. None of the wagons here, including the Great Western Mink, the Midland and North British opens would be able to take advantage of the drops, all being devoid of bottom doors!

There was a coal yard in that corner and that is where the coal was dropped from the waggons

Horseboxes belonging to the Great Western Railway. Probably used to bring horses to Newmarket races, perhaps from racing stables at Lambourn

Worth noting the Great Western Railway horseboxes or vans in a Newmarket railway siding. May have brought race horses from stables at Lambourn, say
