EDITORS COMMENTS

Saltash, a picturesque town in Cornwall, England, is renowned for its rich history and stunning landmarks. One of the most iconic sights is the Saltash railway bridge over the River Tamar, an architectural marvel built by the legendary engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel. This magnificent structure stands tall as a testament to his ingenuity and vision. Another notable landmark is the Royal Albert Bridge, which was under construction around 1858. This awe-inspiring bridge has captured imaginations for generations with its grandeur and elegance. An illustration from "Railway Ribaldry" by W Heath Robinson perfectly captures the charm and whimsy associated with this remarkable feat of engineering. In 1962, Queen Elizabeth II graced Cornwall with her presence during a visit to Saltash. Her regal aura added an air of prestige to this already enchanting town. The Royal Albert Bridge stood proudly in the background as a symbol of strength and unity. Throughout history, the Royal Albert Bridge has remained an integral part of Saltash's identity. Photographs from 1939 and c1900 showcase its timeless beauty against changing landscapes. A street scene featuring this majestic bridge further highlights how it seamlessly blends into everyday life in Saltash. The construction process itself was a monumental undertaking that began in 1858. It required immense skill and dedication from countless workers who labored tirelessly to bring Brunel's vision to life. Their efforts paid off as today we can admire this masterpiece that connects Saltash to Plymouth. It also boasts other attractions such as Cotehele House, a historic Tudor mansion surrounded by breathtaking gardens that transport visitors back in time. Additionally, locomotive enthusiasts will appreciate glimpses of Warship Class locomotive No. D800 traversing through these scenic surroundings.
