More about this scene
Now derelict, this was once an important commercial quay on a tidal branch of the River Lynher. The fine viaduct behind was built across the River Tiddy in 1908 to replace an earlier bridge, and still carries the main line railway. The curious structure on the quay was for loading vessels with quarried stone.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I came to live in Cornwall, just nine miles from St. Germans in December 2006. Much to my amazement, I found that my Great Grandmother, Amelia Hawke was born and brought up here in the house next door to the post office. Her father George Hawke was a bootmaker. I did much research into the Hawke family while I lived in Cornwall for about 15 months and still go back as often as I can to see all the graves of my ancestors in the graveyard opposite the church.
