Railway viaduct carrying 2 tracks over River Tees. 1838-41, designed by Henry Welsh for the Great North of England Railway Company. Sandstone ashlar. About 100 metres long. Both faces similar. 4 segmental skew arches on slightly battered piers which have projecting low rounded cutwaters with shallow-domed tops. Sunk decorative panels with roll-moulded borders on faces; chamfered impost bands. Narrower section of wall breaks forward above each pier and has a similar sunk panel with dropped keystone. Arch tunnels, voussoirs and spandrels have chamfered rustication. Flat- coped horizontal parapet, defined by 2 stepped bands at track level, breaks forward above piers to form rectangular-plan pedestrian refuges, some now destroyed. Parapet end piers have low pyramidal caps. Late C20 parapet railings. Rendered embankment-retaining walls. Partly in the Civil Parish of Hurworth.
