This interesting debate stems from the following post: I wonder if the dump trucks hold the clue here, in that the gap in rail traction was indeed filled by tyred vehicles instead as you suggest. Because the period 1962-1968 is well within living memory, someone out there, possibly a Pentewan resident, or ex-resident, knows the answer.Maybe I am being a bit thick, but how does the reliability or otherwise of oral history of South Crofty have any real relevance to whether someone in the Pentewan area can remember what means of transport was employed in the 1960s? .
