EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print of the Moresk Viaduct, Truro, Cornwall. Taken before 1904, it offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the past and showcases the remarkable engineering prowess of Isambard Kingdom Brunel. In this general view, we are transported to an era when stone and timber were skillfully crafted to create a magnificent viaduct that spanned across vast fields. The Moresk Viaduct, also known as the Truro Viaduct, proudly stood as a testament to Brunel's ingenuity and vision for the Great Western Railway. However, progress waits for no one. As technology advanced and demands grew, a second stone viaduct was constructed alongside its predecessor. On February 14th, 1904, this new marvel opened its arches to accommodate the ever-increasing traffic on Cornwall's railways. This print not only captures an iconic piece of Cornish history but also invites us to reflect upon our own journey through time. It serves as a reminder that even structures once considered permanent can be replaced by newer ones designed to meet evolving needs. As you gaze at this image from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, let your imagination wander along those tracks that have witnessed countless stories unfold over generations. Transport yourself back in time and appreciate both the beauty of nature surrounding this architectural masterpiece and the legacy left behind by pioneers like Brunel.
