EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print of the Ponsanooth Viaduct, Cornwall, taken on the 23rd of July, 1913. The image offers a mesmerizing view over the lush green trees that surround I. K. Brunel's magnificent creation. This iconic railway bridge stood proudly as a testament to Brunel's engineering genius and his contribution to Cornwall's transportation history. The photograph captures the tranquil countryside setting, with vast fields stretching out beneath the viaduct. It is easy to imagine the steam trains of the Great Western Railway (GWR) gracefully traversing this picturesque landscape, connecting communities and carrying passengers on their journeys. Sadly, this particular structure was replaced by a new stone viaduct on September 7th, 1930. However, through this print preserved by Herbert Hughes' lens, we can still appreciate its grandeur and significance today. Transport yourself back in time as you gaze upon this remarkable piece of Cornish history. Let your imagination wander along those tracks that once echoed with train whistles and bustling activity. Feel an indescribable connection to both Brunel's legacy and Cornwall's rich heritage. This print from Royal Cornwall Museum serves as a poignant reminder of our past while also celebrating the beauty found within our ever-changing landscapes - reminding us that even though things may change over time, their memory lives on forever in photographs like these.
