Present Number 4
Gauge 4ft 8 1/2in

Additional Notes At foot of driveway of Hillcrest Nursery, Porkellis Road, Penmarth, Carnmenellis. Markings identify this as a third class; original Cambrian number 4 survives on one door. Has a semi-corridor, prehaps had at least one lavatory? Shown as "at risk" but as the owner's Father was born in the carriage in 1927 (his Aunt was also born there as well!) it is safe as long as he has the business. Fast retreating into the undergrowth!
