Old railway bridge at Bolingey
Houses at Cocks. This small hamlet lies on a minor road called Cocks Hill which runs up a steep coombe off the main valley. This photograph was taken looking northeast down the coombe with the steeply wooded side of the main valley in the distance.
Cocks Viaduct. Central arch of the viaduct constructed in 1903 to carry the Chacewater - Newquay line, now long closed.
Old railway bridge abutment. The bridge went long ago but the stone abutments still remain as a relic of the Newquay-Perranporth line.
