Memories of the Helston branch.
Nancegollan '61
Michael L. Roach
A few days ago we saw Roger's photos of Namcegollan in 1975. Here are two photos of Nancegollan taken on 24th October 1961 showing Penzance loco 4570 entering past the Methodist Church and standing in the station with its B-set. Note the wooden bodied wagon waited to be loaded.
Regards, Mike.

Many thanks indeed Mike for your these pictures from your treasure trove. One wonders just how close to this location, now an industrial site, the growing Helston Railway will reach. Prospidnick is not far away.
​
It is understood that the Helston Railway will not be running any services over the Christmas perod.

St Blazey Turntable
& Lostwithiel
Andrew Thompson

The excellent news that St Blazey turntable is to be brought back into use has prompted Andrew Thompson to send in a couple of pictures plus one of a 37 at Lostwithiel. Any help with the dates of these photographs would be appreciated.
