Viaduct over Corby Beck (not to be confused with Corby Bridge further west) 1830-4, by Francis Giles, for the Newcastle & Carlisle Railway Company. Red sandstone. 7 arches of 13 metre spans on 6 piers, giving a height of 23 metres and 160 metres long. Similar architectural details as Corby Bridge.

An early and important railway structure, forming an impressive landscape feature.
