Artist's Description
A Victorian granite stone boundary marker of the LCR, the Liskeard and Caradon Railway. This was a mineral only railway built in 1844 to transport tin and copper ore and granite from the mines and quarries around Caradon Hill high on Bodmin Moor. Initially it used gravity and horse traction before steam locomotives were introduced. The railway fell into financial difficulties with the decline of the mines and quarries eventually being sold to Great Western Railway (GWR) in 1909. It finally closed in 1917 and most of the track was dismantled in aid of the First World War war effort. Photo taken on the old Gonamena Incline near to the village of Minions. Wagons were taken downhill by gravity to Moorswater by brakesmen, then hauled back with coal for the mine steam engine boilers by horse the next day. The incline was closed around 1877 when a new branch line to Tokenbury was constructed to by-pass it and steam locomotive haulage used. Taken on flanks of Caradon Hill, near Minions...
About Richard Brookes
Images exploring Devon & Cornwall's remote inspiring landscapes, breathtaking coast, ruins and shipwrecks in this beautiful part of SW England, UK. The stunning natural beauty of the area, which changes with the light, seasons and coastal climate, is constantly inspiring. There is so much history here too with human occupation spanning millennia. A photographer's dream. My photos are mostly taken spontaneously in less visited places or from unusual viewpoints. If they hold your attention, lift your spirit, make you ask questions, make you smile or fire your imagination and your wish to explore then it is more than enough reward....although you can buy prints too! ;)My photos mostly explore beautiful rural North Devon & Cornwall...
