Hogroast with a view.

Yes, this was the view from our post wedding hog-roast, courtesy of the groom's parents. The Roast was awesome, the drink much appreciated, the company exceptional and as you can see, the view stunning.

This is the Calstock Viaduct across the Tamar River in Cornwall. It is 120 feet high with twelve 60 feet wide arches, and a further small arch in the Calstock abutment. Three of the piers stand in the River Tamar which is tidal at this point and has a minimum clearance at high tide of 110 feet.

It was built between 1904 and 1907 by John Lang of Liskeard using 11,148 concrete blocks. These were cast in a temporary yard on the Devon bank opposite the village, now as you can see, a local residence. The engineers, were it to mean anything to you, were Richard Church and WR Galbraith.

I think the boat in the foreground was theirs, certainly looks like it hasn't been used since 1907 anyway!
