St Agnes Museum has a new railway display this year. At its centre is a 00-gauge model of St Agnes Station in the 1950s, built by Mike Hockley of Falmouth, and perfect in every detail. It includes the main building, with its Waiting Room and Station-master's office, footbridge, animal pens, cycle shelter and signalbox.
The display is complemented by a 20 minute film of the branchline in the last days of its life. Above the model is the 6' long cast-iron sign from St Agnes signalbox bought at auction last year. The Museum is open daily from 10.30 to 5.00, and admission is free. We hope you will enjoy our exhibition. Liz Thompson.
Well worth a visit - parking nearby, or use Hopleys 315 bus from Redruth station, they will drop you at the Museum.
