Hi Keith,
After visiting Liskeard, and going on down to Falmouth for the weekend, I took a bus to St Erth on Saturday 27th October and then caught the train down to St Ives. As at Liskeard, not a huge amount has changed at St Erth in the intervening 50 years, although, of course, there are no longer any milk tanks to be seen!
Best regards, Howard Sprenger

At St Ives the platform has been lengthened and the station buildings, have also been up graded from temporary structures to form a modern Travel Centre. In retrospect going back many years the St Ives terminus, as it was in GWR days would have made for a much more attractive scene and closer to the town and beach. Maybe you'd like to - take a look at our St Ives branch collection to see how it was.
Howards pictures form a very valuable record of the St Ives branch. Many thanks to you Howard.
