St Austell viaduct
The Penzance line crosses the Trenance valley to the west of St Austell town centre. It is 115 feet high, 720 feet long, and has 10 piers.
The original viaducts built by I K Brunel on this line were wooden viaducts built on top of stone piers for speed and cheapness. On rebuilding, most of the new all-stone viaducts were built on a slightly different alignment to allow trains to continue running, the line being switched to the new alignment on completion of the new viaduct. The timber works of the old viaducts were then removed, leaving the stone piers still standing. Three of these old piers are visible in the photo (the third almost completely hidden by greenery).
The cottages don't really lean in Cornwall!
