This bridge carried the Chacewater to Perranporth line which opened on 6th July 1903 and then extended onwards to Shepherds Station near St Newlyn East where it joined the mineral line which ran from Treamble near Rejerrah to Newquay. It was closed on 4 February 1963 as a result of the Beeching Report (thanks to Simon Glanville for this detail).
