Description

The railway viaduct, built between 1858 and 1862 for the Cleveland Railway, is constructed of rock-faced sandstone with dressed sandstone on the undersides of the arches, along with iron ties and railings. The structure carries a disused railway over Spa Gill and features eight semi-circular arches, each reaching a maximum height of 18.3 meters (60 feet), supported by pairs of tapered piers. A low stone parapet runs along the top, which includes remnants of plain cast iron railings and rectangular and lozenge-shaped iron tie-ends.

Local climate

Railway Viaduct receives an average of 810 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 50% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 52% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 23 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 76% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
