viaduct

There are two rail viaducts spanning the Bourne Valley a stone's throw from the boundary between Poole and Bournemouth, they both look identical but were actually built five years apart, with the one I visited today being the older of the two having opened in 1888 to serve Bournemouth West...

I've just recently explored the Holbeck Viaduct in Leeds and upon it, just before the first metal bridge section that curves, right after the Holbeck Depot, I found a 9 Car Stop marker. This raised a lot of questions for me as you only find these on platforms as they tell a driver where to stop...

After finding out that it was accessible again, I curtailed down there hoping that it hadn't been resealed already! It hadn't but I still needed some ninja moves to get up there and finally get onto the track decking. My first failed try was back in 2009, so it was a satisfying day! Initially...

Hi everyone, first post on the forum. Been exploring the Wakefield area recently and found a lot of interesting infrastructure worth having a look at. Only time I have seen this specific site reported on here is this post by @ERNIE99_UK in 2008 so here is a little update. The History Build by...

hi once again your roving farmer has been mooching and completed something thats been on my to do list for a very long time but lets start at the begining a wet day and a job taking a persian cat to march KFC (and no i wasnt taking the cat out to lunch) saw the oppotunity to do a little bit of...

Cant see that this has been covered before which I cant believe, though it is a bit "public" for most of you its a simply stunning location! Another one I dropped in with @Down and beyond on our recent visit to some amazing caves, didnt expect much here but it far surpassed our expectations...

I enjoyed my exploration of Hollywell Green and this hidden 14-arch railway viaduct built in 1875 for the Stainland branch line of the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway. It was abandoned in 1959 and sadly left to be taken by nature. The Viaduct is quite hard to find as it’s hidden amongst the trees...

History The remains of the Monk Bridge Viaduct run parallel to Whitehall Road on the other side of Holbeck. It was originally built as an access route into the old Leeds Central Station, which stood on the site of the Wellington Place office development, and carried the railway over both the...

History London North Western Railway built the viaduct in 1882 to bypass the congested lines leading to the present-day Leeds Station. It's 1,500 yards long and has 82 arches. The track remains on one side of a gate erected by Network Rail. Trains stopped running on the line in 1988, but the...

Hi Everyone Myself & Martin Zero recently paid a visit to Bennerley Viaduct in Derbyshire. Part of the former GNR line between Derby & Nottingham and closing in the mid 1960's we took a look from above, walked across then went below to see what remained of what remained from the former sites...

Bennerly Viaduct. Built in 1876, 1452 feel long, 60 feet high, grade 2 listed and survived nine Zeppelin airships bombing raids. According to the internet "Restoration is in progress since 2014" but i know nothing has happened here for a while so its currently left to sit and rust away. Easy to...

hi again you wont normally find a report from me in high stuff as heights tend to give me the colly wobbles ( yes im afraid of heights ) however i must have been feeling brave today refreshed on fags tea and ham sandwiches i parked up and walked the short distance to my target tickhill viaduct...

This is my fourth explore and my second post here. Still using a iPhone so the pictures aren't the best quality, and I am still a novice when it comes to photography. Hopefully that will all change this December when I hopefully get a DSLR! Lobb Ghyll Viaduct is a breathtaking five arch bridge...

While at Leeds I thought about having a visit too the Holbeck viaduct, nothing special but passed away a few hrs. The Holbeck viaduct was built in 1869, by London North Western railway (LNWr) & is 1500 yards long. There are 7 steel over bridges & 4 subways, the remaining structure consists of...

I went to the Wortley curve & Central viaduct, (4 years apart) nothing epic but passed away a few hrs. Wortley curve The Wortley curve was opened in 1844, by the Great Northern railway (GNr) & is half mile long. There's 1 over bridge crossing oldfield road & a footbridge, the track remains in...
