SD78SE DENTDALE 162-1/15/46 (North side) Dent Head Viaduct
GV II
Railway viaduct carrying Settle to Carlisle railway line over Fell End Gill. c1869-75, for the Midland Railway Company, Chief Engineer John Crossley, resident engineer J.Underwood. Rock-faced sandstone in massive blocks, mostly coursed but some snecked, with brick soffits to the arches. Slightly curved line on north-south axis. Ten tall round-headed arches on battered rectangular piers, that in the centre broader than the others and with a broad tapered pilaster; short cavetto-moulded imposts at the springing of the arches, rusticated voussoirs (now with 3 tie-plates to each arch), a moulded string course, and parapets with rounded coping. Forms a very striking feature at the head of Dentdale, and an interesting contrast with the Pack Saddle Bridge approx. 10m east (qv).
