Memories of Cornwall
First Look at Church
My sister and I drove to the Safeway market, as we were renting a cottage in Looe. On our way back, we took a different route, not intentionally I must say, but we didn't mind as long as we got back to Looe. While passing through Duloe, I saw the very top of the church and decided we had to stop just looking at it from that view. My sister and I stopped and walked all the way around the church and took some pictures. When we left I kept an eye out for any signs that would lead us back there.

The tunnel nearest the camera still exists and I recall how it once gave access to the old Regent Cinema which these days serves as an amusement arcade. Is it possible that the arch or tunnel at the far end could also have housed a road or even a railway line? Although from the photo, it appears to span part of the river. I can also recall from the 1950s, the railway line extending past the Eastern end of the bridge and down to the quayside. I seem to remember a daily goods train going down to the quay presumably to take fish 'up country'. But I certainly don't remember the existence of that eighth arch or tunnel. The only explanation I can offer is that when the bridge was built in the 1850s the quayside at East Looe had not yet been extended up as... Read more
