Local historian, photograph collector and Voice reader Barrie Doney has no shortage of pictures and stories from Cornwall’s past, which he shares with Voice Newspaper readers every week.

This week’s photograph comes from the early days of railways in Cornwall from the early 1800s.

Barrie says of this picture: “Cutting the line to Lostwithiel from Fowey in the early 1800's. The docks can be seen at the top in the background. The passenger service was used daily for almost 100 years and it was closed in 1965. It is now used solely to transport china clay”
