St Austell, Blowing House Valley c.1884
Photo ref:

More about this scene
Looking south just outside the centre of St Austell we see one of I K Brunel's timber viaducts on stone piers built in 1858 for the new Cornwall Railway. The Great Western Railway replaced it with an arched viaduct 40 years later, but the old piers still remain alongside. The title of this photograph refers to the old tin smelting mill just upstream, which used water power to drive the furnace bellows.
