EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of the newly completed Padstow railway viaduct in Cornwall, circa March 1899. The view is taken from the picturesque foreshore of the River Camel, with Dennis Hill majestically standing in the background. It is believed that this snapshot was taken just before the momentous opening of Padstow railway station on March 27th, 1899. The photograph showcases a remarkable feat of engineering as some scaffolding still remains under the impressive viaduct. This architectural marvel served as the western terminus for the North Cornwall Railway and was operated by none other than London and South Western Railway. Though we are unable to credit a specific photographer for this image, its historical significance cannot be understated. Preserved within these frames is a glimpse into an era when rail travel connected communities and opened up new possibilities for trade and tourism. As part of our cornish collection at Royal Cornwall Museum, this print serves as a testament to human ingenuity and progress during a transformative period in transportation history. Its presence allows us to reflect upon how far we have come while appreciating those who laid down foundations for future generations to build upon
