With 4206

Pictured here in deepest Cornish china clay country little 4552 has one of her St. Blazey shedmates as company , the much heavier " 4200 " class being the principal source of motive power for the heavily laden china clay workings from North Cornwall down here to Fowey Docks as well as to nearby Par .
China clay dust covers much of this location , the open wagons being sheeted over during transit to protect their loads during transit fom the China Clay Dries in and around Wadebridge and Bodmin down to here on the South Cornish coast.
4552 was one of the fourth batch of fifteen " Forty Fivers " , being constructed at Swindon betwen 1914 and 1915 nd she looks to be in good condition here with her original straight topped water tanks of 1000 gallon capacity
