Description
The Stamford Bridge Railway Viaduct is a railway viaduct built in 1847 for the York and North Midland Railway Company, specifically for the East Riding Lines. The engineer responsible for its design was J C Birkenhead, and the ironwork was contracted to Gilkes, Williamson and Company from Middlesbrough. The structure is made of red brick with ashlar dressings and cast iron. It features ten round land arches on the south side and five on the north, with an elliptical cast-iron river arch in between. The land arches are decorated with ashlar impost bands, an ashlar band above, and a low parapet with ashlar coping. The river arch includes trellis work in the spandrels, a timber deck, and a cast-iron balustrade. The viaduct crosses into North Yorkshire and is located in the parish of Gate Helmsley.
