The Bridgnorth Castle-hill inclined railway | Except as to power and gradient it is an Angarrack incline
Submitted by webmaster on Tue, 01/03/2022 - 01:00.
The Bridgnorth Castle-hill inclined railway unites the high and low towns of Bridgnorth, now joined by a flight of 200 steps and long sloping paths. The rise is one loot in a horizontal length of leet; the length of the rail 210 feet ; the vertical rise or lift 111 feet. Water is the motive power, employed as a balance or counter weight. Except as to power and gradient it is an Angarrack incline : only we would rather break from that and run in trucks to Hayle sandhills than break (and with it dislocate necks) at Bridgnorth or Lynton.

Through Phillack Urban Council, inhabitants of Angarrack, between Hayle and Gwinear Road, are petitioning the Great Western Railway Company to erect a halt there.
On 22 April 1915 it was reported
"PROPOSED HALT AT ANGARRACK.
...the proposal had already been under consideration, but the results obtained from the enquiries which had been made were not such as to encourage the view that a halt would prove remunerative to the company. In the existing circumstances, therefore, they did not see their way to proceed further in the matter. "

CHRISTMAS - WORTHY OF IMITATION. - As Christmas day falls this year on a Sunday, the shopkeepers of Hayle and its vicinity have unanimously agreed to close their shops on the Monday following, in order that their assistants and workpeople may have a holiday.

The Hayle Railway was opened from Hayle foundry to Pool and Portreath on 23 December 1837. Hayle station at that time being located below the current viaduct opposite the Post Office.
This line came down two inclines from Camborne, one at Penponds, the other at Angarrack. Steam traction was used on part of the route from the outset, but horse traction was used at first at the western end.
Once down to almost sea level the line ran along the north side of Copperhouse creek along what is now King George V Walk. This original line crossed the creek very close to the current, though disused, rail swing bridge and continued alongside Penpol Terrace to the original station site in Foundry Square (Isis Gardens).

REDRUTH SHOW.
A Fine Exhibition
The 30th annual show, under the auspices of the Redruth Exhibition Society, opened at the Recreation Ground, on Wednesday, in cloudy weather.
The Society, formed in 1898, with the exception of the war period, has had an uninterrupted run, and become a very serious rival to the Royal Cornwall Association's exhibition; in fact, with the exception of horses, cattle, and dairy the sections compare very favourably with those of the county show. read more »
