Old railway at Par
A view taken from the old level crossing just by the junction of the A3082 Par Green with Harbour Road, Par, and looking back up the spur in the direction of the main line. The spur runs to the China Clay Dries by Par docks but, as the china clay industry contracts, so the ripples spread outwards and this line now appears to have fallen into disuse.

Par Bridge Level Crossing
On the little used line from St. Blazey to Par Harbour, Par Bridge Level Crossing is 252 miles and 44 chains from the London Paddington station zero point, measured via Box and Bristol. The level crossing is unusual in having the hand operated gates folded back against each other either side of the A3082 road when closed to the railway. This is because the A3082 road is much wider here than the railway formation and four gates are required to close the road.
There is a green National Trust van parked beyond the crossing.
