Description
The railway viaduct east of The Hermitage was built in 1868 for the North-Eastern Railway Company. It carries two tracks over Southburn Dene and is approximately 200 meters long. The structure is made of light-red engineering brick laid in English bond, with stone plinths and a parapet band.
The viaduct features eight elliptical arches arranged in seven rows of header bond, supported by thin, slightly-battered piers with tall rock-faced plinths. Some arches have been partly refaced on the west side. A moulded band runs at track level, and there is a low parapet with paired end piers.
Late 20th-century railings and cantilevered refuges are present but are not considered of special interest. The viaduct serves as an important feature in the landscape.
