Railway Terrace

The functional, stone-built terraced houses of the district are very pleasing. Although marked on a road sign, the name Railway Terrace does not appear on maps. The railway in question crossed the road to Scorrier at exactly this point, being the Redruth & Chacewater Railway of antiquity and fame. Both the terrace and the eponymous railway were extant at the time of the 1877-9 Ordnance Survey of the district.
