EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1910 showcases the picturesque Carbis Bay viaduct in Cornwall, a true testament to the region's rich history and natural beauty. As we gaze upon this timeless image, we are transported back in time to an era when steam trains gracefully traversed the rugged Cornish countryside. The Carbis Bay Viaduct stands proudly as a symbol of engineering marvel, its elegant arches spanning across the landscape with grace and precision. The photographer, Arthur William Jordan, skillfully captures this architectural masterpiece in all its glory. The viaduct serves as a gateway to St Ives, offering breathtaking views of both land and sea. Nestled behind the railway line lies the iconic Carbis Bay Hotel, adding charm and character to this already enchanting scene. Its presence reminds us of how tourism has long been intertwined with Cornwall's allure. As we immerse ourselves in this snapshot from yesteryears, it is impossible not to appreciate the Great Western Railway (GWR), which played a pivotal role in connecting communities throughout Britain during that time. This photograph pays homage to GWR's contribution by showcasing their remarkable infrastructure against Cornwall's idyllic backdrop. Let us cherish this historical gem preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum for it encapsulates not only an era but also our deep-rooted connection with nature and innovation.
