Summary
[edit]DescriptionFormer Clay Driers - geograph.org.uk - 1626728.jpg |
English: Former Clay Driers The view from the Camel trail shows the now disused clay driers which were once owned by English China Clays Lovering Pochin. The clay dries at Wenford were served by a pipeline delivering clay slurry from Stannon Moor over four miles distant. Traffic to the dries was coal (inward) and china clay; high quality bagged clay in vans and lower quality in sheeted open wooden wagons. After the closure of Wenfordbridge yard in 1971 the line ended just beyond the clay dries, 11 miles and 71 chains from Wadebridge. This was the furthest part of the former Southern railway far away from Waterloo. The line closed completely on 3 October 1983 the last clay train departing before this. At one time the operation was daily Monday to Friday worked by a St Blazey train crew and class 08 shunter in the 70s and 80s.In latter years the service was more irregular, worked only as required. After the railway shut in 1983 clay was moved away by road transport and this continued until the claypit itself was shut down which then made the driers themselves redundant. What for the future ? |
