    Does anyone have any drawings or detailed photographs of Truro Coaling Stage?

    Thanks in advance,

    It was a standard Churchward small one sided coal stage measuring 30x32ft with a water tank on top so drawings should be freely available. The only picture I've seen is in The OPC book A Survey of Great western Engine Sheds 1947, now long out of print. The only difference from the many others of this type was that it was constructed of stone rather than brick.

    Hi there!

    Not sure if it's any help but if you need and pictures taken of anything that still remains it's 5 minutes from my house and I'm happy to oblige!

    Some of the shed outbuildings are still present
