'''Angarrack railway viaduct''' crosses the valley of the Angarrack River at [[Angarrack]] in west [[Cornwall]], England, United Kingdom.<ref name=OS>{{cite book |title= Land's End |series= Landranger |date= February 2009 |volume= 203 |publisher= [[Ordnance Survey]] |location= Southampton |isbn= 978-0-319-23148-7 }}</ref>

==Geography==
The eleven-arch granite-built viaduct <ref name=Binding>{{cite book| last = Binding| first = John| title = Brunel's Cornish Viaducts| publisher = Atlantic Transport Publishing/Historical Model Railway Society| year = 1993| location = Penryn| pages = 106–107 | isbn = 0-906899-56-7}}</ref> 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}}.<ref name=OS/> The village extends up the valley and under the viaduct.

==History==
The original viaduct at Angarrack was designed by [[Isambard Kingdom Brunel]] for the [[West Cornwall Railway]] and was "... ''built wholly of timber on stone footings''".<ref name=Binding/> 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.<ref name=Binding/>

Building of the replacement commenced in January 1883 by Mr H Stevens of [[Ashburton, Devon|Ashburton]], who also built the replacement viaducts at [[Redruth]] and Guildford (west of Angarrack).<ref>{{cite news |title=The New Redruth Railway Viaduct |work=The Cornishman |issue=322 |date=18 September 1884 |page=7}}</ref> 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.<ref>{{cite news |title=The New Viaduct At Angarrack |work=The Cornishman |issue=237 |date=25 January 1883 |page=4}}</ref> 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]].{{sfnp|Historic England|1143709|ps=}}
