About Treffry Viaduct

...hidden in the beautiful Luxulyan Valley
Half a mile South East of Luxulyan, approximately 4 miles North of St Austell, (OS Map 200; ref SW 058672)
Built between 1839 and 1842 by its owner Joseph Thomas Treffry, this viaduct, 90 feet high and 670 feet long, had the dual purpose of carrying both a tramway and a high level leat across the beautiful Luxulyan Valley. It was the first large civil engineering structure of its kind to be built in Cornwall, and is now a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
