Redruth's first station

[Marc Dobson]

It's a bit of a long shot but does anyone know or have any info on Redruth's first station built by the Hayle Rly and subsequently used from the 1860's as a goods yard? So far I have two photo and two plans one pre-1895 which looks like it has a broad gauge connection.

This looks interesting.

I thought that but there isn't a lot of info. The other photo has a GWR 4plk in a post WW1 livery.

Marc, you probably know this, Kresen Kernow is probably your best bet for information.

Hello Marc,
I would contact them and book in for access to specific archival material at Kresen Kernow and submit your request in advance. If you turn up you may not be able to access the documents on the day.
Oll an gwella,
Andy

I've spent the morning going though their online archive no luck. but i have gone down a few interesting rabbit holes. I will give them a ring in the morning as they might have something else.
i see you are taking the advice of the Kernewek language group in adding Kernewek into more everyday use.
