Background
History
The original viaduct at Angarrack was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel for the West Cornwall Railway and was "built wholly of timber on stone footings". A tram-road of a few hundred yards was laid to a nearby quarry owned by Mr Gregor to provide infill for the granite viaduct. The foundations were expected to be at least 30 feet deep and the work would take two to three years. It was opened by the Great Western Railway in 1888 and its eleven granite arches each have a span of 56.5 ft. It is a Grade II listed building.
