Description

The culvert arch over Waskerley Sike is a structure built around 1833 for the Stanhope and Tyne Railroad Company, designed by engineer T.E. Harrison with consulting engineer R. Stephenson. It features a sandstone arch that is approximately 1.5 metres high, constructed with voussoirs. The arch is part of Nanny Mayer's Incline, named after the landlady of a nearby inn, which crosses her farm. This incline is three-quarters of a mile long with a gradient of one in fourteen and operates as a self-acting system.
