Aerial view of Old Goonhavern Post Office & Stores, Perranwell Road, Goonhavern – Circa 1963
Now just a Stores owned by Miss Winnie Grigg. Note behind the building is the remains of the Railway line and cutting before being filled in and Carriage Parc being built on it in the 1970′s.
What were the reasons given for demolishing this beautiful building?
As I said on other pics, it was for Road Improvements, demolishing Cornerways too opposite.
Bet it would have been a good place for some train spotting when the line was still open!
May have been a bit tricky going through the undergrowth. I remember trying to do the same from opposite my old home the Post Office as a boy. But I remember standing on the Bridge at Halt Road and down by Derek Rule’s and looking over at the trains.
