Preserving the Past, Building for the Future - Bridge Strengthening in Lostwithiel
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in history as bridge strengthening work is undertaken on the iconic A390 road bridge over the majestic River Fowey at Lostwithiel, Cornwall. The year was 1993, and this ambitious project aimed to bring the bridge up to European standards capable of supporting heavy 40-tonne vehicles. The photograph showcases a team of dedicated workers diligently carrying out their tasks amidst an array of construction equipment. A group of skilled laborers can be seen maneuvering wheelbarrows filled with materials while others expertly handle utility pipes and meticulously construct stone walls. Towering above them all stands a mighty digger, symbolizing progress and transformation. Built back in 1939 as part of the Lostwithiel by-pass scheme, this historic structure has long served as a vital link connecting communities and facilitating transportation across Cornwall's picturesque landscapes. With its renovation costing £109,000 – no small sum at that time – it is evident that preserving this architectural gem was deemed essential for future generations. Photographer Jonathan Barker beautifully captures not just bricks and mortar but also Cornish resilience and determination through his lens. This image serves as a testament to human ingenuity working harmoniously with nature's grandeur. Displayed within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this print invites viewers to reflect upon our collective responsibility to safeguard our heritage while embracing progress.
