The Newquay Harbour Branch

28th December 2006

Closure: 1926 (goods only)

Another of the cluster of short, early Cornish mineral branches that involved steep cable worked inclines, this line ran for a mile through central Newquay in pre- resort days, and has mostly been adopted as roads or rights of way through the centre.

For a time the harbour end of the inclined tunnel served as an aquarium, although this too has now vanished and the building has been demolished. Glimpsed here in Summer 1987.
