About this event
Cornwall Heritage Trust is undertaking an archaeological excavation at Treffry Viaduct near St Austell which, on Thursday 17th October, is open to the general public.
The charity’s team will be looking for the in-situ remains of the tramways and sidings adjacent to the 19th-century stone buildings near the monument, and invite you to come along. There’ll be the chance to see the dig in action, pick the brains of their resident archaeologists, and take a closer look at some incredible finds which have previously been discovered at the site.
The dig will be open to the public from 10am – 3pm. There’s no need to book, and you don’t need to be members to come along.
Cornwall Heritage Trust is a small independent charity which aims to protect Cornwall’s unique and distinct heritage for one and all, for now and forever. Treffry Viaduct is the only known viaduct in Britain to be used to carry both trucks and water and is cared for by the charity.
This excavation is part of a project which has been made possible by funding from GWR.
