43098 'Walton Castle' is on the approach to Truro while working 2P20 the 15:15 Penzance to Plymouth, passing the array of lower quadrant semaphore signals at the country end of the station.
The final day of use for the semaphores was 26th February 2024 after which the line was closed for the final commissioning of the mid-Cornwall re-signalling scheme which will see closer of the boxes at Truro, Par and Lostwithiel.

A number of the attractive semaphore signals at Hellifield station, with 158787 receding into the distance in the background. I think some lines, particularly ones with high tourism potential like the Settle-Carlisle, should retain the traditional signals for aesthetic reasons. I think Hellifield was actually the first station the Settle-Carlisle train I was on actually called at after joining the Leeds-Lancaster route, so could almost be considered the junction for the Settle route. I was quite saddened when I saw the semaphores at Whitland, a station closer to home, had gone and hope that isn't repeated here.
From memory this was taken on a railtour at Hartlepool, the locomotive being 40122, at this time carrying its previous number D200 and a rather smart green livery. Checking Six Bells Junction, and other photos on Flickr, this would have been the Tees-Tyne Boggard, which ran on the 27th October 1984. The photo would have been taken around 4 p.m. I think.

“The Naval Department has handed to the Port Adelaide Corporation an obsolete 6-in, B.L. gun, which was taken out of the bows of H.M.A.S. Protector when the structural alterations to the gunboat were effected. The weapon is now being erected on the reserve at Semaphore, close to the beach.” [Register 24 Apr 1913]
“A request has been received by the Port Adelaide Council from the Ex-Naval Men's Association that, the gun from the old warship Protector should be given a more prominent position at Semaphore. It now occupies a corner of Todd Reserve, near the entrance to the jetty, but is partly hidden from view.” [News 9 Oct 1936]
“the gun from the old Protector, the only South Australian warship, will be shifted to a more advantageous position shortly. The Port Adelaide City Council has displayed the gun on Todd Reserve, Semaphore, for many years. Its new site will be between the memorial clock and the Semaphore Jetty.” [News 29 Jul 1939]
“At the Semaphore Jetty the gun of the old H.M.A.S. Protector will be unveiled by Capt. C. J. Clare.” [News 4 Nov 1939]

Decorative features in the Ozone Theatre (former Institute & Town Hall), restored 1993, re-opened as library 14 Feb 1994..
“the remodelling of the old institute building, in front of which two shops are to be erected. Two-dome ceilings are to be put in, and a commodious lounge and dress circle. The floor will be sloped towards the front, where there is to be a massive proscenium. . . On the ground floor the library, subscribers' and public reading rooms will be established. . . The top floor will contain a billiards-room, secretary's office, kitchen, and conveniences, the back portion being a soldiers' hall.” [Advertiser 15 Jul 1929]
“Ozone Theatres Limited . . . at the reconstructed Semaphore Hall last night were treated to four surprises. These were the wonderful transformation that has been effected in the art decoration of the interior of the hall, delightful effect of indirect lighting, general excellence of the programme, and clarity of the voice production by the talkie equipment. Other pleasing features in the new theatre are the comfortable tip seats, with ample room between the rows. . . The art decoration is in Adam and Jacobean style, with a modernistic touch. The proscenium is, indeed, a work of art, and is the original design of Mr Chris A. Smith (architect), as are window and ceiling ornamentations. . . The theatre serves a large and growing district.” [News 10 Dec 1929]
