Description
Hawthorn Dene Viaduct is a railway viaduct built in 1905 for the North-Eastern Railway Company. It is constructed of brick with concrete dressings. The structure features a giant semicircular central span, with three round-headed arches on the left side and two round-headed arches along with a blank end bay on the right side. The arches are made in header bond, while the rest of the brickwork is in English garden wall bond. The slightly battered piers that flank the central arch have an impost band. The spandrels of the central arch include two blind roundels and flanking flat buttresses. The parapet has chamfered coping and refuges above a continuous band that breaks forward over the buttresses.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 57% of listed buildings. Of these, 18 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
