Paddock at Scorrier
A few horses were enjoying the hint of sunshine as we passed on the train. This photo was taken from the 1158 Penzance to London Paddington train, having left Redruth at 1231.
Hawkes Shaft Pumping Engine House
Seen across the fields , quite a large engine house and stack.
The Engine House at "Hawkes Shaft"
This was the pumping engine house at "Killifreth Tin Mine" with the tallest stack in Cornwall.
St. Day: the post office
The post office, in Fore Street, retains a traditional looking frontage and unlike many these days is not part of a general village store. There has been a post office in St. Day since 1830.
St. Day: postbox № TR16 62, Fore Street
The off-centre positioning of the collection plate is a giveaway that this postbox was designed for a post office frontage - and that is indeed the case, within the window of SW7242 : St. Day: the post office.
Old Railway Track
Sections of the track of the Redruth and Chacewater Railway. The track was not laid on wooden sleepers, but rather on granite "chairs" set in the ground. In this shot there are actually two generations of track. Nearer the camera the track is the original style, from when the wagons were horse-drawn. Further from the camera the track is of a heavier cross section, installed when steam locomotives replaced horses.
The Shute
The Shute, on the eponymous Shute Hill, flows non-stop regardless of the level of rainfall. Reputedly it has never been known to dry up. The water is believed to originate from ground water under the mass of Carn Marth, to the west, and is potable. People still come to fill containers from it. In days gone by villagers from Carharrack would come here not just to collect water but also to do the weekly wash. Old photographs show the shute looking just the same as it does now.
Farmland on the lower slopes of Carn Marth
Looking broadly towards Lanner, though Lanner itself is hidden in the valley.
Farmland on the lower slopes of Carn Marth
Looking broadly north east, towards United Downs and the site of the former refuse tip. The white sheds in the distance, near the skyline, are on the United Downs industrial estate. The light coloured field is the site of the former tip, now being grassed over. The house slightly right of middle was once a barn.
Scrub on the slopes of Carn Marth
Looking towards United Downs Industrial Estate (white sheds) and the former refuse tip (light coloured field). Carharrack village nestles in the middle left.
