EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, capturing the majestic Collegewood viaduct in Penryn, Cornwall. The original stone and timber Brunel viaduct can be seen peeking through a lush canopy of trees, creating a picturesque scene that exudes both tranquility and grandeur. As we gaze upon this historic image, it is fascinating to learn that this viaduct was the last timber structure of its kind to be replaced in all of Cornwall. Its replacement came on the 22nd of July, 1934 when a new stone viaduct took its place. This significant milestone marked an important moment in Cornwall's railway history. The photographer behind this remarkable shot remains unknown, but their talent for capturing such beauty is undeniable. Through their lens, they have immortalized not only a piece of architecture but also a testament to human ingenuity and progress. With keywords like "cornish" "railway" "GWR" (Great Western Railway), and "not the company" one can sense the historical significance associated with this photograph. It serves as a visual reminder of how transportation infrastructure has evolved over time while preserving elements from our past. Displayed at the Royal Cornwall Museum, this print invites viewers to step into another era and marvel at both nature's splendor and mankind's engineering prowess.
