Description
The British Rail East Coast Main Line Viaduct is a railway viaduct completed in 1849 or 1850, designed by Robert Stephenson for the York, Newcastle and Berwick Railway. It is constructed from rock-faced stone, featuring rock-faced and margined rusticated voussoirs and cut dressings. The viaduct has nine segmental arches supported by tall rectangular-plan piers, which have sunk arched panels on their inner faces and twin pilasters at each end. It includes moulded imposts and a top cornice. The river pier is notable for its rounded cutwaters and a band below a domed top. There is later concrete underpinning to the arch soffits and girder supports. The northern part of the viaduct is located in Acklington parish.
