I'm told you are indeed correct with the name, Chill

Oh good! I would have thought of the Farm half way up Carnyorth Hill, (with the mowhay, where we used to watch the threshing machine, that is now converted to dwellings), as 'Carnyorth Farm' especially as the next one higher up is called 'Higher Carnyorth Farm' . Confusing!

Oh, and I should have said Thank You BOP.

It's my mum you should thank, Chill

I remember as a child riding down the lane with my Uncle in a horse and cart at Bosvenning to put the milk churns out. Good memories.

All-in-all the passing of the milk churn is undoubtedly progress, but tankers on narrow lanes are not a benefit. I can appreciate your memories s55.

And thanks to BOP's mum

Drove in there a couple of months back, all changed now, all barn conversions and modernised, no horses, no nissan hut, no fresh water well..........progress....ah well....

I used to call on both Carnyorth farms on the hill. When I worked for St Just Coop, collecting grocery orders. All changed now, and I'll see it all again when we travel to Cornwall in October.

As a boy my mother used to send me to buy eggs from Betty Sykes at Higher Carnyorth Farm (by the phone box on the way to Trewellard). The Sykes family moved to New South Wales about forty years ago.
