Maurice Dart was born in Plymouth and, apart
from a period in Gibraltar, he has lived in Devon
and Cornwall for all of his life.The interest in
railways was bred into him almost from birth
and has stayed with him throughout his life. He
was educated at Sutton High School, Plymouth
followed by Plymouth Technical College and
worked as a chemist in the china clay industry
for thirty-seven years. Through his work he
gained an intimate knowledge of the Lee Moor
Tramway and of china clay railway operations
by the main line railway companies. Following
retirement he works as a volunteer on the Bodmin
&Wenford Railway, mainly in the shop, or
escorting visiting enthusiasts around the railway.
He also acts as a guide for enthusiasts who wish
to visit sidings that serve locations owned by
Imerys Minerals. His other main hobby is Folk
Dancing, which has taken him to Ireland, Jersey,
Portugal andYugoslavia and he dances at times
with local Trigg Morris Men from Bodmin. On
his trips abroad, he has always managed to find
time for railway photography. He also likes to
play snooker once a week or so and enjoys eating
out.
