Description

The Railway Viaduct, dated 1889, features eight stone round-headed arches resting on a battered base. Notably, there is a large oval cut-out between the fifth and sixth arches. The structure is topped with a moulded parapet and serves as a prominent feature of the town.

It experiences an average of 27 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 71% of listed buildings. Of these, 12 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.
