PADSTOW

 
Little Petherick Bridge On the last leg to Padstow is the well-known viaduct over Little Petherick Creek, seen here as photographed by Ron Strutt in the 1980s.
 
This viaduct now forms a part of the Camel Trail that utilises the old trackbed between Wadebridge and Padstow and was photographed again by Ron Strutt in 1999. Little Petherick Bridge
Padstow station area Padstow station did not change much for many years. The main building was taken over for use by the local council whilst the platform, uncharacteristically empty on this wet day, became a parking place for the hundreds of bikes used by those who cycled here along the Camel Trail. The photograph is another of Ron Strutt's from the 1980s.

Padstow station The front of the station showing the road that comes down steeply from the higher part of the town and the railway-built Metropole Hotel in the background. Today much of the foreground is a large car park. This is another of Ron Strutt's photos from the 1980s.
