Many thanks to Mrs. Blackman and to Mr, Derek Brooks of the  Goonhavern Old Cornwall Society for allowing us to use her relatively modern pictures - one wonders what remains of the bridge underneath this piece of road. This is the third bridge, looking from Goonhavern Halt towards Perranporth which was once visible on this straight section of line which passed through a cutting.
Using at Google Earth and street view and looking towards where the other wall of this bridge would have been there is no trace.
Whatever there is remaining carries the A3075 main road. Note the very fine stonework remains of this old bridge.
