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!

A little west of Trenance viaduct, these fine arches spanning Trenance Road at an angle carry the main line from nearby St Austell to Penzance (or at least, the nearer bridge does).

Trenance Road
The junction with Grover Road (left). Dominating the scene is the Trenance Viaduct, carrying the main railway line to Penzance, and with the piers of an earlier 1850s viaduct alongside. The later viaduct dates from 1899.
