EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1929, capturing a significant moment in the history of Cornwall's railway infrastructure. The image showcases the Ponsanooth Viaduct, an impressive timber structure that once stood proudly on the Falmouth Branch Line. Standing tall against a picturesque backdrop, this viaduct served as a vital link for trains traveling through Cornwall. Intriguingly, next to this wooden marvel stands evidence of progress: the construction of a masonry replacement. This juxtaposition highlights how advancements in engineering and architecture were gradually replacing traditional materials with more durable alternatives. The Ponsanooth Viaduct was not just an architectural feat but also held great historical significance for locals and visitors alike. It symbolized connectivity between towns, enabling trade and transportation across Cornwall's beautiful landscapes. As we gaze upon this stunning photograph from STEAM Museum of GWR (Great Western Railway), we are transported back in time to witness both the beauty of nature surrounding the viaduct and mankind's ingenuity in constructing such magnificent structures. It serves as a reminder of our rich industrial heritage and how innovation has shaped our world over time. This print is not only visually striking but also holds immense historical value, allowing us to appreciate the legacy left behind by those who built it with their sweat and determination.
