St Pinnock Viaduct

The Cornwall Railway company constructed a railway line between Plymouth and Truro, England, opening in 1859, and extended it to Falmouth in 1863. The 70 miles (110 km) of railway crossed 45 rivers and deep valleys. Of these 43 were spanned by viaducts of various types built partly or entirely from timber.[12] One of the viaducts, the St Pinnock railway Viaduct, was built in 1854-5 by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, and was heightened in 1882. It consists of 7 piers roughly dressed, coursed slatestone from Westwood quarry. It stands at approximately 60 foot with each pier consisting of 8 buttresses with weatherings rising to form 5 stages with pointed openings piercing the 4 upper stages. Batter of about 1 in 100. In 1882 the piers were heightened with a slightly cruder, tapering, sixth stage and iron girders were used to replace Brunel's timber trestles. The 2 track railroad of 1882 and later carried on rivetted plate steel girders with steel guardrails and refuges to the north side. It is considered the tallest viaduct on the railway[13] in Cornwall, 633 feet in length and 151 feet in height.[14] The line was singled over this viaduct on 24 May 1964 to reduce the load on the structure. Beneath the viaduct is the Trago Mills out-of-town shopping complex.[15]
