Description
The South Viaduct is a significant structure built between 1862 and 1863 by the Midland Railway for the main London to Manchester line. It is constructed of rock-faced limestone with gritstone dressings on the piers and abutments. The viaduct features a wrought iron superstructure that includes segmental arches and spandrel construction.
To the west, there are three round-arched masonry spans, while to the east, there are three wrought iron spans, standing approximately eighty feet above the ground. Each arch is made up of five parallel ribs, with lattice work strutting filling the spandrels between the arch members and the deck above. The deck is bordered by iron railings with a lattice work pattern. The viaduct crosses the dale at an angle, resulting in staggered ribs for each arch, and the masonry piers are designed in an irregular hexagon shape.
