1. Title: Cornwall Railway - Falmouth Goods Shed End Elevation and Sections (1862) This print showcases the end elevation and sections through the historic Falmouth Goods Shed of the Cornwall Railway, as depicted in a drawing dated 20th February 1862. The intricately detailed illustration, designated as 4751-16, provides a fascinating glimpse into the design and architecture of this significant railway structure. The end elevation reveals the grandeur of the goods shed, with its impressive arched windows, intricate brickwork, and the distinctive Cornwall Railway crest proudly displayed at the apex. The shed's symmetrical design is a testament to the meticulous planning and engineering expertise of the era. The accompanying sections illustrate the internal structure of the goods shed, revealing the complex system of beams, columns, and arches that supported the vast open space required for the handling and storage of goods. The use of timber and iron in the construction is evident, reflecting the materials commonly employed during the Victorian era for railway infrastructure.
