An interesting photograph taken at Penzance of a Bulldog most probably from the mid 1920s through to the mid 1930s as the station was remodeled from 1937. Any comments on this photo would be much appreciated
I would date this picture to just before the first world war, say 1912. The coaching stock in view is from the Edwardian period or earlier. The few females in view are wearing the vast hats which were in vogue at this time The picture seems to be recording a special event of some kind, going by the crowds. Bulldogs (along with Dukes and Atbaras) were the star engines at PZ until outnumbered and replaced by 'moguls' during the first world war.

Hi Keith, Saturday (6th August 2022) was a hot day spent roaming around Trerulefoot with the camera. The best two efforts are attached - the landscape shot shows 800 013 + 800 007 on the 1310 Penzance - Paddington, whilst the other image shows 802 017 + 802 022 rounding the curve on the climb up from St Germans, with the 1104 Paddington - Penzance.
Best Regards, Chris Harvey.
Best Regards, Chris Harvey.

Roy Hart mentiones that Trerulefoot lies between Menheniot and St Germans (i.e, west of St Germans). It was the site of a signal box, intended to break the long section between Menheniot and St Germans. It opened around 1910 and closed in 1925. A second box -situated right next to the overbridge -was opened in 1938 and replaced by Intermediate Block Signals (IBS) in 1954. This box only had 6 levers, but was big enough for 40, so it is supposed that it would have been the junction for the new Looe branch which was projected in the 1930s.
Otherwise, when Trerule is mentioned, I always think of that terrifying road sign: 'Beware of oncoming traffic in middle of road'. Is it still there?wall) is a village in southeast Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is located on the A38 trunk road a .Trerulefoot has a farm shop, two cafés and a petrol filling station.
Many Thanks Roy
