It's very nice to hear from Bernard Mills who writes - I have not contributed anything to the CRS site for a while, thought this may be of interest. Nancegollan station photographed 27 October 1973 and despite the track being lifted 8 years earlier, it was more or less intact, the view looking towards Gwinear Road. The site is now covered by the Nancegollan Industrial Estate with the station eradicated although there is a short section of the platform to be seen somewhere inside the fence, my updated view is 14 July 2022 and the best I could do. There is a clue, in the 1973 picture look at the masonry abutment to the far left of the iron bridge, in the updated view this is just to the right of the big tree in front of the Cornish Cooling Company building. Thought this may be of interest.
I paid my first visit to the Helston Railway last Thursday. Bernard

Very many thanks Bernard, glad you had a good day in Helston - memories are made of this.
