The Fight for Calstock Viaduct

Calstock Arts are delighted to host a repeat screening of the documentary film by Neil Gallacher: The Struggle for Calstock Viaduct.

It cost huge amounts of time and money. It may have cost lives. And it cost one man his reputation. But it gave us the Tamar Valley as we know and love it today.

This short film draws on an outstanding collection of stills in Calstock Parish Archive to tell the story of the long engineering struggle to build the viaduct. Much of it was a battle deep underwater to create the foundations on the riverbed.
