Photo of Golant, The Village 1892

More about this scene

Also known as St Sampson's, Golant on the west bank of the Fowey was cut off from the main estuary, save for a bridge, by the embankment of the Lostwithiel to Fowey railway in 1869. This embankment, seen here on the right, enclosed a harbour around the old shoreline. The railway had become disused by the time of this photograph, and was not re-opened for another four years.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

Many years of happy days at Bodriggan as Diana Luck's nephew, one of many! Sadly she died early this year but will never be forgotten. Great memories of Barbara and Gerry at The Fisherman's Arms, beer straight from the barrel, roaring fire and darts. Also great times had with George Luck (her husband, my uncle) on Ruda out of Fowey.
