EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print of the Ringwell Viaduct, taken in the 1920s. This timber viaduct, located on the Falmouth branch line in Cornwall, stands as a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of its builders. Constructed in 1861, it served as a vital link for trains traveling through this picturesque region. The photograph captures the viaduct's elegant structure against a backdrop of lush greenery and rolling hills. The intricate wooden beams and arches create an awe-inspiring sight that transports you to a bygone era. It is fascinating to imagine steam locomotives chugging across this engineering marvel, carrying passengers and goods between Falmouth and other destinations along the Great Western Railway. However, progress eventually caught up with Ringwell Viaduct. In 1933, it was replaced by an embankment as part of modernization efforts on the railway line. While no longer standing today, this print serves as a poignant reminder of an important piece of history. Displayed at STEAM Museum of GWR (Great Western Railway), this image invites visitors to explore Cornwall's rich railway heritage. Whether you are a history enthusiast or simply captivated by stunning architectural feats like viaducts, this print offers a glimpse into an era when railways were at their peak and played a crucial role in connecting communities across Britain's scenic landscapes.
