Spoils of industry at Tucking Mill
Spoils of industry at Tucking Mill
This area between Camborne and Redruth contains much evidence of the former tin and copper mining industries. Even the name of the river in this shallow valley, Red River, reminds us of the colour of the soil from the copper. The valley is greener now, as nature returns.
The railway crosses on a shallow viaduct here and this photo was taken from the 1158 Penzance to London Paddington train, having left Camborne at 1224.
