Details

CALSTOCK THE BUTTS INCLINE RAILWAY DEPOT, SX 46 NW Calstock 4/62 Engine shed (formerly listed as Butts Incline Station - engine 16.5.86 shed) GV II Engine shed at the depot of the incline railway. Circa 1872; restored late C20. Stone rubble. Slate roof with gable ends. Plan: Rectangular plan engine shed. Exterior: Single storey engine shed, with two 16-pane sashes to the side and double doors at the gable end. King post strut roof. No internal machinery. The incline railway was built by the Tamar Coal, Manure and General Mercantile Company in 1860 ; it was taken over by the East Cornwall Mineral Railway in 1872. Beyond the incline station, the wagons were locomotive hauled as far as Kelly Bray, to obtain loads from mines, quaries and brickworks in the Gunnislake, Higher Dimenson, Kit Hill and Callington areas. Various sidings and depots were located along the line. The line operated in this form until about 1908, when the branch line to Bere Alston was completed by construction of the Viaduct at Calstock (q.v.). Sources: Tamar Valley Project.
