EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and witness the timeless beauty of Trenance Viaduct, a captivating snapshot of Newquay's rich history. This vintage print captures the viaduct in all its glory, showcasing its sturdy stone piers and intricate wrought iron girders. Dating back to around 1905-1910, this iconic structure replaced the original timber viaduct that had graced these lands since 1849. Nestled amidst picturesque fields and serene countryside, Trenance Viaduct stands as a testament to Cornwall's enduring railway heritage. Its construction by Great Western Railway (GWR) marked an important milestone for transportation in the region. The viaduct opened its gates to eager passengers in 1874, connecting communities and facilitating trade across Cornwall. The women captured in this image add a touch of human presence against the backdrop of architectural marvels. Their attire hints at a simpler time when train travel was still novel and exciting. As they traverse this engineering masterpiece, one can only imagine their awe-inspired gazes at the breathtaking vistas unfolding before them. Although eventually replaced with a stone structure on March 27th, 1939, Trenance Viaduct remains etched into Cornish history as an emblematic symbol of progress and connectivity. This print from Royal Cornwall Museum allows us to relive those bygone days when steam engines chugged along these tracks, leaving trails of nostalgia behind.
