Treffry Viaduct is a combined viaduct and aqueduct constructed in the mid-nineteenth century in Cornwall to serve the expanding mineral industries of the region. Built between 1839 and 1842, the structure was designed by engineer John Taylor to carry both the Luxulyan Valley Railway and an aqueduct that supplied water to the Fowey Consols and other mining operations. The viaduct comprises a series of stone arches spanning the Luxulyan Valley, with the aqueduct channel running above the railway track, demonstrating the ingenious engineering solutions required to meet the competing demands of transport and industrial infrastructure in the Cornish mining landscape. This ambitious dual-purpose monument exemplifies the technological and industrial development of mid-Victorian Cornwall.
