Helston Branch

This new, much-expanded edition of The Helston Branch adopts a broadly chronological framework, in that Chapter One deals with the pre-history of the line, while Chapters Two and Three deal with the construction, history and operation of the railway from its incorporation until the end of the GWR era. Chapter Four is a detailed examination of the stations and route of the line, while Chapter Five is devoted to the British Railways period. A considerable amount of additional material has been added, including details of the present-day 'Helston Railway', which has been re-established as a 'heritage line' and an added attraction at Trevarno Gardens, between Nancegollan and Truthall Halt.
