Very interesting video mark! Must of walked by that quarry and never spotted it🙂 I’ve heard too that the structural survey on the viaduct is good, just shows how well built it was in the first place! First train ran in 1887. Passenger service ended in 1962 and freight in1964. There doing great job at helston railway! It will be lovely to see trains going over the viaduct again 🤞👍

Yes and I'm hoping to commence volunteering again next year as I've been doing that for the last good few years on and off

I remember this quarry working as a child and the one at Coverack bridges, used to watch the masons dressing the granite and the blacksmith working. I volunteer at the railway 40 hrs a week and set up the carpentry and maintenance /fabrication shops. Line you walked is under negotiation at present. Hope to see you next year, health permitting.

@@adrianbew9641 I grew up at mabe so also seen the granite masons working at there trade very skilled men. Trannick quarry worked by the Pascoe family, did they also work this one as well? I see lot of granite was carried by the railway back in the day too!
