Plenty of shirtsleeved " spotters " out and about on what looks to be a warm 1st. of September, and on the left is the site of the former Mutley Station , in use before North Road station came into being , and when the principal station here at Plmouth was further down at Millbay, with the walkway down to the platform on the down line also visible on rhe right.
A carpark now ruins this view today , the dreadful concrete structure stretching from the tunnel mouth down over the tracks to where that walkway begins , and the sidings in the foreground were used to hold engines from Laira shed awaiting their trains from Cornwall for them to work forward " up the line "
