Carn Brea a view from on the 13th September 2003. Copyright Chris Harvey.

Chris Harvey brings us this view as an HST crosses Barncoose embankment nearly eighteen years ago. This embankment is one of the oldest sections of the Paddington to Penzance main line being built as part of the old Hayle Railway route.
The dual carriage way Redruth Bypass dates from 1939 - it  was succeeded in 1979 by the construction of the new A30 which by passes both Redruth and Camborne, a bridge on this route can be seen.

Many thanks Chris.

Many thanks for this lovely picture Ron, the splash of the red of the long gone and lamented Royal Mail is a very welcome inclusion.
