Roger Winnen & Jon Hird
Two shots taken looking back towards East Wheal Rose mine from the rear coach of the Lappa Valley Railway. Rogers top shot taken 29.09.1974, Jon's bottom shot taken 16.08.2025. The track alignment has slightly changed over the decades which means that a perfect comparison isn't possible, but this was pretty close. Copyright Jon Hird & Roger Winnen.
