GeographyThe eleven-arch granite-built viaduct [2] carries the Cornish Main Line railway across the steep-sided valley of the Angarrack River, a tributary of the River Hayle, between the present day stations of {{Stnlnk|Camborne}} and {{Stnlnk|Hayle}}.[1] The village extends up the valley and under the viaduct. HistoryThe original viaduct at Angarrack was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel for the West Cornwall Railway and was "... built wholly of timber on stone footings".[2] It was nearly {{convert|800|ft|m}} long and {{convert|100|ft|m}} high. The stone from the original Brunel footings was re-used to construct the sea wall on the approach to Penzance railway station. Today, no evidence remains of Brunel's original structure.[2] Building commenced in January 1883. 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 {{Convert|30|feet}} deep and the work would take two to three years.[3] It was opened by the Great Western Railway in 1888 and its eleven granite arches each have a span of {{convert|56.5|ft|m}}. It is a Grade II listed building.[4] See also
