Derriton Viaduct
II*
Railway viaduct carrying the Holsworthy to Bude railway. Dated 1898. Shuttered concrete construction cast to resemble 'V' jointed masonry. Nine semicircular arches, granite projections from arches' springers to carry the timber scaffolding during construction, the four central piers slightly splayed out, resting on chamfered plinths. Corbelled panels above the second, fourth, sixth and eighth spandrels on south front, and the first, third, fifth and seventh panels on the north front; the eastern panels on both sides nearest the town bear the date 1898. Parapet with chamfered coping stones. The viaduct carried the railway over the mill leat.
The branch line opened 10 September 1898 and closed 3 October 1966. An early use of shuttered concrete construction for bridges, simulating masonry in a most convincing manner.
