Description
CARLISLE
NY3856 WILLOW HOLME 671-1/5/322 Waverley Viaduct, west of the former Electricity Works
II
Also known as: Waverly Viaduct Newtown. Disused railway viaduct for the former Carlisle to Edinburgh line. 1861 for the North British Railway Company. Quarry-faced red sandstone blocks with brick arches. Double-track width of 6 spans crossing the River Eden on a slight curve. Each arch is segmental on rounded piers with quarry-faced voussoirs. Arch soffits are of brick. Moulded string course and solid parapet with chamfered coping; parts of the parapet have stones missing through vandalism. Concern was expressed in the Carlisle Journal 15 January 1861 that the wooden bridge, constructed to carry a tramway for the building of this bridge, would be damaged by ice floes on the river. The line was completed in April 1862. Waverley Viaduct is partly in Kingmoor CP. In Peter Brook (1990) this is called the Canal Viaduct. (Carlisle Journal: 15 January 1861; Carlisle Journal: 1 April 1862; Brook, Peter: Calling Carlisle Control: 1990-: P.80-81).
