Full description
The Cornwall Railway was realigned by the GWR in 1898 at this location. The Cornwall Railway bridge of 1852-55 survives at 289m 71c, together with its associated track-bed and embankment. The bridge is of roughly squared rubble masonry, with cut stone voussoirs to the round arch, a string course above and uncoped stone parapets. It was built to double-track width, as was the embankment to either side, although only a single line of rails was ever laid on it (JRS).
