EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the era before 1902, showcasing the magnificent Carvedras Viaduct in Truro, Cornwall. Standing proudly on St Georges Road, this iconic structure was a testament to Isambard Kingdom Brunel's engineering genius. The original viaduct depicted here was constructed using timber and featured an impressive fanned design. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, our eyes are drawn south down St Georges Road towards the breathtaking view of the viaduct. Its intricate wooden framework stands tall against the backdrop of a bustling crowd and curious onlookers. The image captures not only the architectural marvel but also provides a glimpse into daily life during that period. On the right side of this remarkable scene, St Georges Church emerges gracefully from behind nearby buildings. Its presence adds a touch of serenity amidst all the activity surrounding it. It is worth noting that shortly after this photograph was taken, Brunel's timber viaduct would be replaced by an even more impressive all-stone structure which opened its doors on August 17th, 1902. This new incarnation would continue to serve as a vital link for train travel in Cornwall for many years to come under Great Western Railway (GWR). This print from Royal Cornwall Museum allows us to immerse ourselves in history and appreciate both Brunel's ingenuity and Truro's rich heritage.
