Bodmin General Goods Shed

Today we welcome a new contributor to the CRS site - Jim Lewis. Jim has sent in a collection of photographs in Cornwall we start off with the demolition of the Goods Shed at Bodmin General. Previously unrecorded by us. Thank you Jim.
Firstly a view of the station at Bodmin with the Goods shed more or less complete. You can see the length of tha long siding which served it. The signalbox is there and the loco shed. If only one could have stopped the clock at this moment in time what a lot of work it would have saved the B & W Railway! The date is July 78 Copyright Jim Lewis
Now a look from the end of the terminal platform. The bridge from which the previous picture was taken lies in the background while to the left lies the former goods shed - sadly roofless. July 1978. Copyright Jim Lewis
Swinging his camera slightly to the left we see the villain of the piece, the large excavator ready for the demolition. July 1978. Copyright Jim Lewis

What a fine sight the Earl makes as it waits to leave Taunton. The bay platform behind the locomotive remains in use to this day. Copyright John Cornelius
