Huge thanks to Bill of Polzeath Walks for this brilliant summary of our talk last night. Also thanks to our speaker Phil Collins whose knowledge on this subject knows no bounds! He was amazing.

What a turn out - many thanks to all who came from far and wide - we had over 45 people - a record for us! Lastly thanks to our secretary John Raybould for finding and organising this event for the 60th anniversary of the demise of the railway through our parish. 🚂 🚂 🚂 🛤

Our next talk is on Thurs 8th October at St Kew Parish Hall PL30 3EP
doors open at 7pm for a 7.30pm start.

Did you know that it's almost 60 years to the day that the railway line running through St Kew and neighbouring parishes closed?...

Our speaker - Phil Collins, who has a great interest in the socio-economic effects of the London & Southwestern Railway, will explain why the line was wanted, the 40 year struggle to get the line built and open, the economic and social impacts when it opened, how it’s market changed over the years and the impacts when it closed.

We'd love to fill the hall for this very topical talk, so we hope to see you on the 8th.
