Cannington Viaduct

The A&LRLR was built as a light railway, so the foundations of the elegant, curved Cannington Viaduct near Uplyme could only be ten feet deep. This wasn't enough, as can be seen from the reinforcements at the Axminster end. Notice the early use of concrete. (This structure is now Grade 2 listed)
