Description

The railway viaduct for the London and Greenwich Railway extends from the platforms of Greenwich Railway Station to Deptford Creek. Its construction was authorized by an Act of Parliament in 1833, and the railway opened to Greenwich in 1838. The viaduct is built of grey brick and features eighteen arches, each measuring 20 feet wide from center to center and 22 feet high. The railbed, which is 28 feet wide, is enclosed by parapets that are roughly four and a half feet high. This viaduct is notable for carrying the first passenger railway in London and represents one of the first major achievements of railway engineering in Britain.
