Capturing the Majestic Railway Viaduct and Dennis Hill in Historic Padstow, Cornwall - March 1899
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to a momentous era in Padstow's history. Standing proudly against the picturesque backdrop of Dennis Hill, we are presented with an awe-inspiring sight: the magnificent railway viaduct that forever changed the landscape of this coastal town. Taken from Petherick Creek, this snapshot offers a unique perspective on both engineering marvels and human endeavor. As our gaze follows the graceful arches of the viaduct, we notice workers diligently toiling away on its structure. Some can even be seen hanging below on a platform, their bravery evident as they contribute to this monumental feat. It is worth noting that this photograph holds particular significance as it captures a pivotal moment in time – just days before the opening of the line to Padstow on March 29th, 1899. Serving as the western terminus for the North Cornwall Railway and operated by London and South Western Railway (LSWR), Padstow station would soon become a bustling hub connecting locals and visitors alike. The combination of natural beauty and industrial prowess showcased within this image truly encapsulates Cornwall's rich heritage. From its iconic bridges spanning rivers to its pristine beaches dotted along Great Western Railway (GWR) lines, every element tells a story steeped in history. As we admire this remarkable print from Royal Cornwall Museum, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal
