Description
Burnstones Railway Viaduct, built in 1852, is a stone railway viaduct likely designed by Sir George Barclay-Bruce. It features elliptical and semicircular skew arches, with four arches spanning the river and one skewed arch for the road, along with a blind arch in between. The river arches are supported by rock-faced piers with triangular cutwaters, while the road arch is flanked by pilasters. The intrados of the arches is adorned with rusticated blocks, and the imposts are rock-faced. A projecting half-round cornice is located at the base of the parapet. This viaduct was constructed for the Alston Branch of the Newcastle-Carlisle railway.
