Not closed yet: the one tangible reminder of the branch, Roskear Junction Signal Box, survives as a block post on the main Paddington - Penzance line.

The junction with the mainline in the twilit years of only occasional traffic prior to closure. Winter 1985.

As close as I could get to the original junction scene! Nearly two decades worth of sapling, bramble and gorse have choked the cutting peeling away from the mainline, the location of which is marked by the white van just visible in the background.

Looking north-east along the initial cutting towards North Roskear, only yards from the erstwhile Fraser Metals siding. Here Cornwall's reputation for riotous fauna growth is borne out...ironically it is the stub of the line which was closed most recently which is by far the most difficult to negotiate. 2nd January 2007.

Looking across an area of Camborne unrecognisably altered in the past ten years or so. The line ran directly ahead and just to the right of the remaining Holman's building, left of frame.

Looking north-east along the much encroached trackbed, on the short stretch between the A3047 and South Roskear Road. The shallow incline past the cricket ground begins after the much narrowed crossing of South Roskear Road just visible. 2nd January 2007.

This obscure alley, narrowed by property extensions to the left in the years since closure, is the remains of the trackbed between South Roskear Road and the A3047 at the new Foundry Road roundabout. Remains of the original low boundary wall right of frame, 2nd January 2007.

Looking down the shallow incline toward North Roskear from South Roskear Road. Ahead, running behind the cricket club pavilion, was the siding for Roskear Mine. Summer 1987.

From the same vantage point some twenty years on. The trackbed is still passable and regularly used, but has become much more encroached upon by saplings ad garden escapees. 2nd January 2007.

Looking up the shallow incline between South & North Roskear Road, Summer 1987.

The remaining siding gate at Roskear Mine, gradually vanishing under creeper growth.

Looking back towards Camborne from the final level crossing at Boiler Works Road. The trackbed is walkable without break from the A3047 to the end.

After the crossing of Boiler Works Road, the line continued on to its final terminus at Roskear Mine Crushing Works - a section probably de facto abandoned decades before the official closure of this section in 1963. It now serves as a link path to Tolvaddon Valley Park, all remains of the crushing works having been long landscaped out: post-industrial reappropriation.
