HWW Delabole North Cornwall 22nd September 2023

When in 1893 the North Cornwall Railway was extended to Wadebridge and beyond, the station here was named Delabole after the nearby Devonian Delabole Slate quarry. The slate was exported via the railway until closure to goods in 1964.

This Southern Railway sign was seen on the slate wall of a house alongside the now closed line.

HWW to everyone. Enjoy your mid-week.

This works well, with the rusty old sign contrasting well with the grey slate wall. HWW.

Hi Pete
I like this picture very much!
It is a very interesting to see that some building work / modification has gone on here. The slate on the right is very different from that on the left.
Best Wishes, a good weekend, and stay safe!!
