Description

The railway viaduct, located in Skelton and Brotton, was constructed between 1865 and 1872, likely designed by the company engineer Harrison for the North Eastern Company. It is made of red brick with ashlar dressing and features 11 very tall segmental arches supported by battered brick piers. The tallest central piers have rock-faced ashlar bases, with the two tallest piers rising from the river bed adorned with cutwaters on either side. There is a roll moulded ashlar parapet on both sides of the railway line. The authorization for this railway line was granted in 1865, and it officially opened on June 1, 1872, primarily to serve the limestone mines in Skinningrove.
