Very good video, thanks. 15:47, there is also a route from Falmouth line exit signal to the Up Main (Truro platform 3) via the crossover just west of the station. 27:28 - a relative told me similar years ago re WW2; Newham was the nearest place materials and vehicles could arrive by rail to the facilities being built along the river. As there never was a railway on the Roseland, it was the next best thing for getting heavy gear to Tolverne (on the Roseland side of the Fal near King Harry Ferry).
Fascinating! I am a service engineer that calls to this industrial estate and have often wondered what the railway there was like - now I know - thank you.
This is amazing. One of the few actual former track beds still existing largely in "as was" form. My favourite in Cornwall would be the Chacewater Newquay line, and there certainly is not much of that left... Have you ever thought about doing something like this for that line...?
Lovely work - this and Part 1. Your care and attention to detail is exemplary. I've driven under Tolgarrick Bridge no end of times, but only just twigged what it used to carry. Good job!
I enjoyed watching your film especially as I have a family connection to the Newham Line - My Great Grandfather worked initially for the West Cornwall Railway then was transferred to GWR. He was a porter at Truro Station then a night-watchman on the Newham line and then the Railway Policemen for that line. I have the record of his service and other stories about him including newspaper cuttings and photos.
Thanks for sharing the family connection. Sounds like you have a wonderful archive that would be of interest to local historians and railway historians.
Great Vid. I remember Trains using this Line and the Huts. I didn't see the rock face on the left as going towards Newham that we used to climb as kids. I also remember the old Pavilion at the old Cricket Club, I think that was pre School era for me
We used to walk the Newham line on a Sunday afternoon in the 60s whilst staying with relations in Truro. The video certainly brought back memories although the line wasn't quite as claustrophobic then!!!
I have walked this route many many times and had no idea it was an important railway line link between Truro and the rest of Cornwall although I did wonder about the huts and bridge origins. Fascinating, thankyou for your effort in producing this video! Perhaps there ought to be an information plaque at the start of the trail detailing its significance in Truro history
Thanks for sharing. An information plaque is something for the city councillors to consider. Perhaps the residents of Truro need to start asking for one.
This is a marvellously well-crafted piece of work. Do you know when the Tolgarrick Bridge was replaced to accommodate the Arch Hill road widening? My late father left me a short 8mm cine film of some of the girder replacement work. I suspect it was in 1960 or 1961.
Thanks for the feedback. I have no idea of a date on the road widening. The photo I've used with the adverts on it dates from the 1920s. There was nothing on the 1960/61 OS map to indicate the road widening but that would have been surveyed about 18 months before publication. I suspect it may take contact with the County Surveyors Office or Highways Dept to confirm the actual date of the works. Was your father connected with the work or just filming something that took his interest at the time?

Still appreciated in 2023. Thanks for your hard work!
Fantastic work

Glad you found the presentations informative.
A fascinating history. Thanks for posting this. It'll give more meaning the next time I walk or cycle the trail.

Your series is a delight. Delightful countryside and industrial archaeology topped off with lovely music. Bravo!
Many thanks for your kind words. Glad you enjoyed them.

Thanks for sharing the memories. I think the rock face is probably overgrown and hidden by the vegetation.
I also remember climbing that rock face...and also some fun with the detonators we found in the disused hut...

Good work... This is always fascinating..

Good video, perhaps a camera with stabilisation would be good but great footage.
Agreed but Father Christmas never delivers!
@@PhilsTeleTime I bought a little camera recently for 20 quid that has a stabiliser and films in 4k . 2nd hand is the way mate
