Devoran - Old Tram Road

As it entered Devoran from the north-west, the Redruth and Chasewater Railway split into three near the village centre. The upper route followed the line of Carclew Terrace and emerged here to continue along what is now called Old Tram Road, running behind the photographer's position as a horse-drawn tramway towards the old terminus at Point. Although the railway closed in 1915 and the rails were taken up in 1919, the road surface was not made up until 1951.
