Description

The railway bridge, built in 1838, carries the embankment of the former railway over a lane. It was constructed for the Tresavean Branch of the West Cornwall Railway. The bridge is made of uncoursed killas rubble with granite quoins and voussoirs, and features brick copings. There is a narrow barrel-vaulted tunnel through the embankment, which has simple round-headed portals flanked by splayed retaining walls that also act as buttresses for the high wall above, with brick copings. Historically, this bridge was built to serve Tresavean Mine, located approximately half a mile to the east, which was the third largest copper producer in the county at that time.

Local climate

Railway Bridge receives an average of 870 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 62% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 86% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 5 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 97% of listed buildings. Of these, 2 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
