A chance find while returning from a gig in Tavistock, the former station site at Mary Tavy & Blackdown, now known as 'Railway Cottage', on the disused Plymouth-Launceston GWR Branch which closed 31st December 1962 during a blizzard. The enclosed shots were taken on public property.

Newquay '83
Clive Smith

50034 Furious leaves Newquay with the 10.35 to Paddington on 2nd July 1983 with the signal box, semaphores and sidings all in shot before the rationalisation of 1987. Could this be the last summer we see HSTs at the resort ?

              Regards,  Clive Smith          
      Many thanks Clive
