EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to Perranwell in Cornwall, circa 1932. The image showcases the early stage of replacement for the Old Carnon Valley viaduct, a testament to engineering genius Isambard Kingdom Brunel's legacy. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the sinking of the caisson for the new pillars during the initial phase of construction. Brunel's original timber fan structure viaduct stands tall and proud, while directly behind it looms its successor - a magnificent stone structure that would soon replace its predecessor. The photograph allows us to marvel at both past and future simultaneously; it captures an important moment in history when progress was being made without sacrificing respect for heritage. It serves as a reminder of how transportation infrastructure has evolved over time, adapting to meet growing demands while preserving architectural beauty. Although we do not know who precisely captured this remarkable scene with their lens, their work immortalizes an essential chapter in Cornish transport history. This print is a valuable piece of our collective memory that commemorates not only Brunel's ingenuity but also those who labored tirelessly to bring his vision into reality. Displayed proudly within the Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this image invites viewers to reflect on our rich past and appreciate how far we have come since those early days of construction.
