St Blazey Locomotive Depot
View westward, to the semi-roundhouse behind the locomotives in the yard. The Depot is beside the Cornwall Minerals line (closed in 1968) that came down to Par Harbour and Fowey from St Blazey station on the Par - Newquay branch. This fairly small Depot (in the Newton Abbot Division, coded 83E by BR) provided locomotives for the local branches, notably the china-clay traffic. In 1954, the allocation of 37 engines was all steam, comprising:- 2 4-6-0s, 4 2-6-0s, 2 2-8-0Ts, 16 2-6-2Ts, 12 0-6-0Ts and 1 0-4-2T. However, by 1960 when this photograph was taken, main-line Diesels had already begun to take over: Type 2 Diesel-Hydraulic No. D6308 was in the yard, together with 2-6-2T No. 4167, 0-6-0T No. 7446 and 2-8-0T No. 5264. The Depot closed in 4/62, but has survived as a Diesel Depot: since 25/4/87 the Diesels have been serviced at a small straight-shed (out of view to the right), while the semi-roundhouse has been kept intact under a Preservation Order.

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.
