A wet Thursday found me in Great Torrington where I spied this

Dairy Crest creamery empty since 1993. Can anybody fill me in with any more details?

Only just stumbled across this. The buildings at the cremery fascinated me. Alas there was never a direct rail link there. Milk traffic was handled st Torrington station until 1978; for many years in the goods shed road. Then there was a dedicated loading facility from early 1970s with pumping equipment on the former main platform with the track set into concrete in case of spillage. My late father was involved with Torrington freight traffic (he worked.for BR Western In divisional freight office). In the 70s traffic was passing clay, Torrington Out bound milk and in bound Fertiliser in vanfits. Paul
