Perranporth railway bridge. Late 1800s

A view from Nampara side of the railway bridge looking down Boscawen Road with Perranporth village and beach in the background. The building just in the picture on the left and behind the railway embankment is St Michaels Church. The three story building with the words hotel on the roof is the Tywarnhayle Hotel. The shop in the distance from the top of the bridge is displaying signs saying, Tea and hot water supplied. The area of land between the bridge and the shop would become Boscawen Gardens and boating lake. The large houses on the sky line, top left of picture, are on Tywarnhayle Road. Just off picture to the right of the bridge is the site of the future Perranporth Beach Halt which would be opened in 1931 to serve the tourist traffic and would become at times one of the busiest stations on the line, better situated for town and beach than the main Perranporth station.

EDITORS COMMENTS

This print takes us back to the late 1800s, offering a glimpse into the picturesque Perranporth railway bridge. From the vantage point on Nampara side of the bridge, we are treated to a breathtaking view down Boscawen Road, with Perranporth village and its stunning beach stretching out in the background. As our eyes wander through this historic scene, we notice several notable landmarks. Just left and behind the railway embankment stands St Michaels Church, an architectural gem that adds character to this already charming landscape. On top of a three-story building nearby, we see bold letters spelling out "hotel" indicating it as Tywarnhayle Hotel - surely a popular destination for visitors seeking respite by the sea. Further in the distance, a shop catches our attention with signs proudly proclaiming "Tea and hot water supplied". It's fascinating to imagine how this humble establishment would eventually give way to Boscawen Gardens and boating lake. Our gaze then shifts towards Tywarnhayle Road where grand houses grace the skyline on top left of picture - elegant structures that have stood witness to countless generations enjoying life in this coastal haven. Although not visible within this frame lies Perranporth Beach Halt, which would later become one of Truro and Newquay branch railway's busiest stations after opening in 1931. This convenient stop served tourists flocking to experience both town charm and sandy shores. With its cornish backdrop adorned by telegraph poles dotting along its path, this print captures not just history but also evokes nostalgia for simpler times spent amidst nature's beauty.
