Proper! I didn't know about the quarry. In the early 1980s when I was at college, we sometimes came to the area to the right of where you were and rode motor bikes, the area was different then above the concrete works.
What a great video of an area I know very well. Carn Brea East quarry (there were at least two at the Tregajorran end) was served by a standard gauge railway. An spur of the West Cornwall Railway line to Redruth. Stone from the quarry was taken to Redruth for construction of the railway viaduct which would connect the WCR to the GWR. And, Happy Birthday.😉
Thank you for your nice comments I really just scratched the surface on this one but there's a lot more things to be found hidden in the Cornish countryside
from 19th century minings the paths are strued with red brick fragments from long demolished buildings also found crockery and clay pipes ,,, broken of cause,,,,,,,
My friends brother has just died. He owned some land and had spent 10 years making a huge fishing lake. They have just scattered his ashes on the lake and now the government is flooding the whole area for Grantham water supply. On the plus side his son is getting £750,000 for the land. Might of been a present from his dad.
Big like awesome 👍
A third great memory, when a scout we used to go up there of an evening and have flour and water fights
Great video 😊
