The community space in the middle of Grampound Road that takes in the Village Cricket Green as well as a children's play area.

Warning of a 30mph speed limit ahead when approaching the village of Grampound Road from the A390 to the South.

The idea is to build small workshop units in a village and hopefully local businesses will rent them and people will have employment without having to travel out of the village - hopefully!

A VIP special from Plymouth to Truro was run to mark the completion of the dualling of the railway track from Probus to Burngullow. Of course prior to the 1980s it had been dual track anyway but then the bean counting accountants who ran the railway decided they could save a few quid by making the railway single line between these points. 20 plus years later it cost millions to put the track back again ! Here 3440 is seen from the fence top steaming under the bridge at Grampound Road.

View SW, towards Truro and Penzance: ex-GWR Plymouth - Penzance main line. The station was, which was behind the camera, closed 5/10/64 but the line has of course survived, although singled on this stretch at that time - but doubled again more recently.
