Churchyard sidings question

[London Anorak]

Does anyone know whether there are in fact two separate "Churchyard sidings" in Kings Cross - one for Tarmac, and one for Castle Cement - or whether these both refer to the same siding? Cheers

I dont think Kings Cross had a churchyard sidings (although i stand to be corrected), i know St Pancras had one named so after the sidings were laid out behind St Pancras church.

There's even a YouTube video showing how to get there!

Before the redevelopment of the King's Cross area, aggregate and cement traffic ran to King's Cross Goods, adjacent to the North London incline, and accessed from the ECML.

This all had to move with the new St Pancras station. North of St Pancras on the down side (west) were the old Churchyard sidings. This was developed into a rail terminal for these products. There is an overtrack (MML) link from the discharge siding to the new Hanson depot located in the triangle formed by the MML, CTRL, and N London incline.

Its in the same siding but 2 separate discharge facilities next to each other, hopper drop is nearest to St Pancras, with the the cement suction discharge to the north.
Attached is a pic from Google with added notes to show the locations.
