Description
Corby Viaduct is a railway viaduct that spans Corby Beck, built between 1830 and 1834 by Francis Giles for the Newcastle & Carlisle Railway Company. Constructed from red sandstone, it features seven arches with spans of 13 meters each, supported by six piers, and reaches a height of 23 meters and a length of 160 meters. The viaduct shares similar architectural details with Corby Bridge, located further west. Henry Howard utilized this viaduct as an entrance to Corby Castle, having his coat of arms carved above the central arch on both sides and creating a road through the valley next to Corby Beck. This structure is an early and significant railway feature, contributing to the impressive landscape.
