Details

VIADUCT STREET 1. 5113 (West Side) Huddersfield Railway Viaduct SE 1417 28/100 II 2. 1845-47. The contractor may have been Thomas Nicholson who was employed by the company to build Stanedge Tunnel. Rock faced stone with smoother imposts stand, and parapet coping. Tapering piers. Eighteen round arches from north and as far as Bradford Road, every third arch part blocked with a smaller concentric arch open. Twenty-six segmental arches from Bradford Road to John William Street, which has a flat iron span. Arches taking principal roads have rusticated ashlar voussoirs buttresses at critical parts 663 yds long. Owing to errors in calculating gradients the viaduct had to be raised to a higher level in course of construction which delayed the opening of the line until 3 August 1847.
