Description

Drury Dam Viaduct is a former railway viaduct, now used as a footpath, built around 1875 and restored around 1989. It was likely constructed for the Midland Railway. The structure features rock-faced stone and red brick, with red brick and ashlar dressings, and includes a single cast-iron span. It has ten round arches with red brick dressings, arranged on a slight curve, spanning the River Maun. At the west end, there is a single cast-iron skew arch that spans Quarry Lane. The round arch has pierced spandrels and a panelled cast-iron parapet. On either side of the viaduct, there are pilaster buttresses, with one on the west and two on the east.

Local climate

Drury Dam Viaduct sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 730 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 77% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 85% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 39 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 75% of listed buildings. Of these, 20 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.
