Tremabe
Chris Harvey

Here is a shot from twenty one summers ago that you might be interested in. Under a lovely July sky, an unidentified 47, wearing GW "Merlin" livery, passes Tremabe on the edge of Dobwalls, with the 1140 Penzance - Paddington. The date is 10th July 1999.  This view isn't possible today, as the field in the foreground is now full of trees. Best Regards, Chris Harvey, Bodmin
