Description
The Stockport Railway Viaduct is a railway viaduct that opened in 1840, designed by G.W. Buck for the Manchester and Birmingham Railway. It is constructed of brick and stone and features 28 arches, with a total length of over 540 meters. The viaduct has three spans at either end measuring 18 feet, and 22 spans in the middle measuring 63 feet each, reaching a height of nearly 34 meters above the river. It is said to contain 11 million bricks and is adorned with stone capping and a dentil cornice. The piers have stone moulded impost bands and rusticated faces. The construction took 21 months and cost £72,700. The viaduct was widened to the west between 1888 and 1889.
