Posted: 22/01/2011 17:15:49 Reply | Quote I understand that the two narrow gauge locomotives that used to work the Dolcoath railway from Stray Park to the stamps, and from Harriet Shaft to the stamps, were sold at closure to C & M Powder Co. Ltd at Treamble. Does anybody know anything about this company at Treamble? There's no info on the Web!! Were they something to do with the iron lode at Perranporth? When did they cease to exist? Whereabouts did the Treamble railway run? IP: 79.79.213.108 |

Posted: 25/01/2011 17:30:08 Reply | Quote Yes - the company was working an alteration deposit, with similar properties to fullers Earth, associated with the Treamble open pit on the Perran Iron Lode. The locos were either transporting from this quarry or possibly from the hard rock quarry that was associated with the works. I can send you a stack of info off list or - or better wait for my book A History Of iron Mining in Cornwall which is due out in a few months IP: 92.28.222.178 |

Tony Brooks digressing slightly, I assume you must be the same Tony Brooks who joined CSM in the 1970s having formerly been in Zambia? -- He knew the magic monotony of existence between sky and water: the criticism of men, the exactions of the sea, the prosaic severity of the daily task, because there is nothing more enticing, disenchanting, and enslaving than the life at sea.
