Electricity Sub Station

The transformers step down the high voltage electricity which comes over the wires on the large pylons to a lower voltage more suitable for local distribution via wires on wooden poles.

Large open field near Cathfrench Manor

This picture shows a wide open gradually sloping field with no hedges. The contours on the map are far apart.

Steep field and woods beyond.

This picture shows (through the trees) the steeper gradient field as opposed to the field in the central section of the OS grid square. The denser woods seen here up to the left are known as 'Shippingpark Wood'.

Railway track towards Penzance

This picture clearly shows the railway heading towards the Tresulgan Viaduct - the safety walls of which can be seen as the track veers to the left in the picture.

Road to Wilton Farm

Geographically speaking - the map shows a road should be here, so I went and there was a road - as now shown in the picture. The Wilton Farm is just round the corner - (where the top of a conifer is poking out of the hedge horizon as a marker.)

Fields adjacent to Wilton Farm

This pic is slightly off to the right of the previous pic and shows a bit of farmland over the hedge from the road. The field gently slopes away and eventually drops down to where Bake Wood, Wilton Wood, and Bare Lakes are located along the valley in line from right to left.

Main line looking west

Looking west towards Menheniot off a minor road bridge a Penzance to Paddington train is seen heading towards St Germans. The cuttings were once well open here but now trees and scrub have grown up restricting the view.

The down Leeds to Penzance service nr Berry Farm

Standing on one road overbridge it was possible to photograph the afternoon Leeds to Penzance service passing under the Berry farm occupation bridge. This service left Plymouth just after 1400hrs and the next stop would be Liskeard at 1425.
