Red brick buildings beside the NRM

[102 fan]

Hi. I'm wondering if anybody can tell me if these red brick buildings beside the NRM entrance on Leeman Rd are railway in origin?

Thanks.

I have a feeling they might be former railway stables for railway horses. Think I read that somewhere.

I couldn't spot any description for these buildings on old OS map but this site ...

York’s railway history – there to see in current buildings – Sue Gough – me and mine

... also suggests that they were once railway stables.

Good link. Pretty sure my recollection was from an article in the Friends of the NRM Journal, which I get - but I do not keep them so was only going from memory. Not about sables in detail IIRC, but mentioned in passing about buildings near the NRM with railway connections.
