My friend of many years Jess Watkinson from St. Austell has asked me to submit the attached words and images on his behalf.
Regards, Julian Stephens.
Jess takes us on a memorable un repeatable look around the shed during demolition.
- "Having seen the posts in mid-February with regard to Truro Engine Shed, I have found some of the pictures I took during a visit to the shed while demolition was in progress in early 1971. Such a visit would obviously not be allowed nowadays. I knew Peter Moore very well and hope the images may be of some value to anyone wishing to make a model of the complex. JW"

Most of the photographs show the interior of the adjacent Carriage and Wagon shops, not the shed. The last picture shows the ugly extension to the shed, built in 1959 to cater for DMUs.
Cheers, Roy Hart.
