Marazion Pullmans
​Steve Widdowson
Steve writes :-  Hi Keith, Came across the attachment plus a photo with the following caption on it.

There was another twist to the fate of the old Pullmans at Marazion near Penzance in 1990 . The 2nd owner who brought them since BR has given them up and tried to auction them in Febuary 90 in London but  they did not meet the reserve. The coaches where then put up for sale for offers in excess of £300,000 and coming with planning consent for 12 bungalows. 

They where still up for sale in September 90 when this photo was taken .
Steve  Widdowson                              Many thanks for the recall.

They certainly looked grim then. However they are long gone and holiday bungalows grace the plot. Copyright Steve Widdowson
