Railway viaduct. Mid C19. Gritstone and ashlar. 7 round arches carry the track across a deep gorge, 3 of the arches spanning the river. Plinths and rusticated quoins to piers. The arches are composed of massive voussoirs, with a projecting moulded band at impost level and a roll moulding and band at track level. Edge-tooled ashlar parapet and flat coping; the end piers carried up as projecting copings. The inner faces of the piers have rows of massive projecting blocks approximately half way up, adding to the impression of strength and solidity. The viaduct carried the North East Railway Line, the N E R Company having been formed in 1854. The line was closed in 1964.
