North Crofty Junction viewed from the adjacent overbridge on the mainline, 24th February 2007. The short stone-lined cutting peeling away was only backfilled in the last fifteen years and was previously more extensive.

A more level view of the junction from the site of North Crofty Junction signalbox, a small affair which shut on the same day as the branch - 1st January 1948 - in the first few hours of British Railways. Note the vernacular drystone walled recessing.

A south facing view of the junction looking out towards the main Penzance to Paddington mainline.

The twin engine houses of Cook's Kitchen stand mute witness to the lost industrial heritage of the area, just above the much despoiled site of the former loop siding. The siding supplied coal for these twin pumping and winding engines but fell out of use with the closure of the mine in 1928 and was removed in 1937.

Almost the entire length of the line running across the eastern shoulder of Brea Valley is obscured and lost amongst subsequent mining waste and excavation - South Crofty mine was to remain operational for a full fifty years after the closure of the branch. Here is the trackbed in use as a rough track in the vicinity of Cook's Kitchen loop siding

Very near the end of the branch, at the junction of East Hill & Dudnance Lane to the north of the main South Crofty sett remains this short section of railway walling adjacent to the former Tuckingmill mileage siding.
