EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a nostalgic glimpse into the past, showcasing Perranporth Beach Halt in Cornwall during the 1960s. The quaint little halt was established in 1931 to cater to the needs of holidaymakers flocking to Perranporth, providing them with a more convenient stop along their journey. Nestled amidst breathtaking coastal scenery, this charming platform served as a gateway for countless beachgoers seeking sun-soaked adventures. The image exudes an aura of simplicity and tranquility, transporting us back to an era where train travel was synonymous with leisurely exploration. Passengers would disembark from steam locomotives onto this very platform, eager to immerse themselves in the beauty of Perranporth's sandy shores and crystal-clear waters. However, like many other halts along its route, Perranporth Beach Halt met its unfortunate demise when the Newquay to Truro line closed down in 1963. Today, only remnants remain as silent witnesses to bygone days filled with laughter and excitement. As we gaze upon this evocative snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the profound impact that railways had on shaping our collective memories. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how places evolve over time but continue to hold sentimental value for those who once treaded upon their grounds.
