Description
The viaduct bridge, built around 1845, was designed by Joseph Gwilt for Sir Thomas Maryon Wilson. It is constructed of red brick with stone dressings and features five tall arches with stone impost bands and heads, along with small transverse arches that support a bracketed stone cornice and parapet. The south side has iron railings, while the north side is capped with stone. The bridge is flanked by channelled stone piers and has brick abutments. Historically, Sir Thomas Maryon Wilson, who was the lord of the manor of Hampstead, aimed to develop his East Park estate with exclusive villas. However, the viaduct bridge was the only part of this plan that was ever built, leading to it being referred to as "Wilson's Folly," as he was unable to secure Parliamentary authority for enclosing his land.
