GWR routes Penzance to Padstow – Richard Binding
On 29th April in the last meeting of the 2024-25 session, Richard Binding gave an entertaining evening talk about the route and branch lines of the GWR between Penzance and Padstow.
Lavishly illustrated by 35mm film slides, Richard guided us on the main line and on the various branches, some of which no longer exist and others have changed considerably. He also showed varous photos of the Brunel’s timber viaducts and their various replacements - Richard’s father John conducted a study of the viaductsand has publised a book ‘Brunel's Cornish Viaducts’
A very interesting presentation from the land of upside down signals
