Dear CRS,
Barbara Barnes of the Helston Railway preservation society has suggested I get in touch with you as someone who may be able to help me in my search for pictures of the girder bridge crossing the B3303 at Praze an Beeble prior to the line closure in 1963.
I have many pictures of the site following the removal of the girder bridge but none prior to its removal following the closure of the line. The reason for my request is that I am making a scale 4mm model railway of this section of the Helston Branch Line.
Kind regards, David McILrath
Can anybody help please with a photograph of the bridge. The road surface both at this bridge site and that at the next one towards Gwinear was raised after removal.

The Butlins Express ran during July and August in 2007 from Bristol Temple Meads to Minehead and return, the operator was Victa Westlink. The locomotives were 31452 'Minotaur' and 31454 'The Heart of Wessex', sadly it was the only year that it ran.
