1. Title: A Glance into the Past: Longitudinal Sections through Fowey Station Building, Cornwall Mineral Railway This drawing, titled "Longitudinal Sections through Fowey Station Building," offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of the Cornwall Mineral Railway (CMR), an essential part of Cornwall's industrial heritage. The precise date of this drawing is unknown, but it provides an intriguing insight into the design and construction of Fowey Station Building. The image showcases a longitudinal section through the station building, revealing the intricate details of its internal structure. The station, with its distinctive red-brick exterior, is depicted in cross-section, revealing the various rooms and spaces that once served the passengers and railway operations. At the heart of the station, the waiting room is evident, complete with a fireplace and benches for passengers to rest and socialize. Adjacent to it, the ticket office and station master's room can be seen, where important railway business was conducted. The drawing also reveals the presence of a parcels office, a goods yard, and various other functional spaces necessary for the efficient operation of the railway. The Cornwall Mineral Railway was a vital artery for the transportation of minerals, particularly china clay, from the mines in the Bodmin Moor area to the ports of Fowey and Par. The railway's construction in the late 1800s revolutionized the mining industry and significantly contributed to the economic growth of the region. This drawing serves as a testament to the ingenuity and engineering prowess of the past, providing a unique perspective on the design and functionality of a Victorian-era railway station. It invites us to appreciate the rich history of the Cornwall Mineral Railway and the pivotal role it played in Cornwall's industrial and social development.
