Carn Brea (Cornwall) wagon/carriage shed - Sep 1955 - 1 of 2

An old amateur photograph of the stone built wagon shed, somewhere around Carn Brea station (closed in Jan 1961), it would have been next to the 2 line engine shed which was closed in 1917 and at some point demolished. In the distance is the footbridge (see overhead map below), and a large light for the station or goods yard.

Here is another photo (taken the following year) looking at the side of the shed, the shed yard, and sidings in the background:-

On the photo reverse is annotated "Carn Brea shed, 23/9/55".

From Wikipedia:-
"Carn Brea was the home of the West Cornwall Railway's workshops, where they maintained the locomotives and rolling stock."
