  • Railway sidings on the quay, 113 feet below the line on the viaduct. These were connected by the wagon lift, which was used to lower full wagons containing granite and other materials brought down from the Callington end of the branch to be carried on by water (sea). The lift was little used after 1912 and was dismantled in 1934. It was somewhat higher than similar hoists found in many two level urban goods depots for example at Spitalfields in east London.

  • The railway continues towards Callington having sharply turned 90 degrees to head eastwards just north of the viaduct and then 180 degrees around the slope above the Tamar to appear on the north side of the road running east to west. The line is still open as far as Gunnislake.
