Fal Viaduct
The viaduct was built in the late 1850s as part of the construction of the railway from Plymouth to Truro. The line crosses a number of deep river valleys so in order to lower the initial building costs, the viaducts were constructed mostly of wood with fans of timber, resting on stone piers, that supported a wooden deck. In 1884, this was replaced by an all-stone structure which was cheaper to maintain once built.
