Association Football
Association football, more commonly known as football or soccer, is a team sport played between two teams of 11 players who primarily use their feet to propel the ball around a rectangular field called a pitch.

St Dennis Junction
St Dennis Junction was in St Dennis, Cornwall. 1849 - 1960 The history of railway lines through the Cornish village of St. Dennis dates back as far as 1849. In that year, a tramway was opened linking the harbour in Newquay to areas where clay was - and still is - mined. This railway ran from Newquay, through the localities of Quintrell Downs, St Columb Road and St. Dennis. On 14 July 1864 an Act of Parliament was obtained for the Newquay and Cornwall Junction Railway. Construction proved to be easier said than done and the 3.5 miles (5.6 km) of broad gauge railway from the main line at Burngullow up to Nanpean finally opened on 1 July 1869. Upon the opening of the Cornwall Minerals Railway line from Par to St Columb Road on 1 January 1879 it became possible for trains of china clay to travel to the harbours at Par Docks and Fowey for onward shipping. At the same time, the old tramway from Newquay was rebuilt and extended to meet up with the line already at Nanpean. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
