EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the late 19th century with this print of Carvedras Viaduct, St Georges Road, Truro, Cornwall. Taken around 1890, the image offers a mesmerizing view south down St Georges Road, showcasing Isambard Kingdom Brunel's original timber fanned viaduct. This remarkable structure would later be replaced by an all stone version that opened on August 17th, 1902. In this snapshot frozen in history, we catch a glimpse of daily life during that era. St Georges Church gracefully stands on the right side of the frame while a passing broad gauge freight train can be seen majestically traversing the viaduct above. The presence of two bowler-hatted gentlemen and their loyal canine companion adds charm to the scene as they stand on the pavement beneath. The photographer behind this evocative image remains unknown but has masterfully captured both architectural marvel and human activity within one frame. With its rich historical significance and stunning composition, this print transports us back to a time when Truro was undergoing significant transformations
