Opened in 1909, the Conisbrough Viaduct was part of the Dearne Valley Railway. The railway carried passenger and goods traffic, serving a number of local collieries. The viaduct was made with more than 15 million bricks, and features some beautiful decorative brickwork. The line closed in 1965, and in 2008 it re-opened as part of the National Cycle Network.
