Local historian, photograph collector and Voice reader Barrie Doney has no shortage of pictures and stories from Cornwall’s past, which he shares with Voice Newspaper readers every week.

This week’s photograph shows the hamlet at Carminnow Cross.

Barrie says of this picture: “Known today as Carminnow Cross. Years ago it was a small hamlet with just a few cottages, a water pump to serve the residents, with a large granite trough adjacent. Locals around who kept pigs, when they were slaughtered, used to wash the entrails (tripe) in the trough & thus Carminnow crossroads was known as Tripey corner.

“This picture was taken in 1956, a few days later the bulldozers moved in to create the new by-pass and the Granite Cross was re-positioned on the new roundabout.”
