Site of former Grenofen railway viaduct

The Plympton-Tavistock railway viaduct over the Walkham river at Grenofen was unfortunately demolished by explosives as a training exercise some time ago. Vandals! The trackbed stops at the ledge showing at the foot of the picture. The far side was just right of the middle distance in the picture. The camera is facing towards Tavistock.

Buckland Monachorum: weir on the river Walkham

The weir served the Lady Bertha Mine at SX471689, a mile or more away. The leat on the left, now a dry ditch, powered water wheels on the mine, used for crushing ores and initially for pumping water. The mine raised nearly 4,400 tons of copper ore and almost 1,700 tons of arsenic in the period 1855–1882. Note the remains of a fish pass here

New bridge on the new cycle path along the old railway

A cycle path is being built along the old Yelverton - Tavistock railway. A major problem is crossing the River Walkham after the demolition of the old viaduct, which had originally been designed by Brunel although it was modified later. This is a temporary bridge being lifted into position on 3rd April 2007. A high-level one is planned to replace it in a few years. The depth of the problem can be seen from Crispin Purdye's image SX4970 : Site of former Grenofen railway viaduct. Ben Naylor of Devon County Council did the specification. The bridge was built by CTS Bridges of Huddersfield Link
