The main #RailwayStation is #Totnes is on the main line from #London #Paddington to #Penzance. There’s also a minor connecting line which has a much smaller station, which is sort of like a #museum. You can get to it via a #footbridge.

St Michael's Mount, near Penzance in West Cornwall, bathed in warm July sunshine (although if I'm being honest, a little warmer than was comfortable). A very enjoyable two weeks spent in one of my favourite parts of the UK.
Travelling the 500 miles back home to North East England on Saturday and the temperature was a uniform 29°C (apart from hitting 32°C in Somerset) – it was a bit depressing watching the temperature drop ten degrees on the final few miles. Now, Sunday morning has dawned with a wall to wall greyness!

Those in peril on the sea: mariners in Victorian Cornwall
A region bordered on three sides by the sea might be expected to be home to a fair number of men described as mariners, seamen, sailors or Royal Navy personnel. In fact, in 1861 there were more of this description than there were fishermen, at least 2,514. ‘At least’ because we would expect a proportion of Cornish seamen to be absent at sea at the time of the census.
Some absent married men could be captured through the description of their wives as both heads of household and wives of mariner/seaman etc and this has been done here. However, the 2,514 (or 2.6 per cent) of seafarers has to be regarded as a minimum. Interestingly, this proportion is not far below that usually cited for Cornish sailors present at the Battle of Trafalgar.
Unlike fishermen, mariners were found on Cornwall’s north as well as south coast, although in far fewer numbers. In the south, they clustered particularly around the estuaries of the Fal and Tamar (in the latter case most being Royal Navy men) as well as the ports of St Ives, Penzance and Hayle in the west. St Ives and Hayle were at one end of the busy trading route to and from the smelting furnaces and coal mines of south Wales, a trade in coal and ore mainly carried in St Ives owned boats.
Mariners clearly also had a fondness for the coast around St Austell Bay and east to Looe. Indeed, the proportion of mariners at Fowey, Cornwall’s premier port in medieval times, was the highest in Cornwall at one in four of its adult male residents.
Another 929 men were recorded in the census as making their living from working on the water – boatmen, watermen, ferrymen, pilots and coastguards. Their distribution on the south coast from Falmouth to Torpoint broadly mirrored that of mariners with the largest numbers, as might be expected, working in and around the two major estuaries. However, the greatest proportion was found on Scilly, where over one in seven men plied their trade on the local waters, while a minimum of at least another one in seven were mariners.

Yesterday, we went on a trip to #Penzance in #Cornwall. There is a direct #RailwayLine running from here to #London #Paddington. My local station is about half way along this 6-hour route and I’ve been on the London leg many time and so I thought it would be nice to go to the end of the line in the other direction. There are lots of #RailwayStations with strange names, like #Lostwithiel and #StErth and so it was nice to pass through them on our way.

Sea pinks and St. Michael's Mount today. I spent the weekend decorating, so it was nice to get out with the little Lumix today and some fresh air... #stmichaelsmount #themount #cornwall #photography #landscape #seascape #panasonic #lumix #mft #microfourthirds #marazion #penzance

A small Victorian albumen print photo, 88 x 60mm, of the Merry Maidens stone circle at Boleigh near Penzance in Cornwall. I don't know who the photographer is, but it probably dates from c.1860-1880. #MerryMaidens #StoneCircles #Megaliths #Boleigh #Penzance #Cornwall #Kernow #StandingStoneSunday

Here's a map of the ancient sites of West Penwith.
Click on any site on the map for further information about it.
I did this map over a six year period, starting 2015.
