Description
The Railway Viaduct over the River Nidd is a significant structure built in 1851 by engineer Thomas Grainger for the Leeds and Thirsk Railway. Constructed from gritstone, the viaduct is approximately 100 metres long and 30 metres high, supporting two tracks across four arches. The two central round arches span the river, while the flanking arches extend over the Long Walk on the south bank and Waterside on the north bank. The design features round cut-waters that rise as buttresses, with projecting bands and small half-towers at the top, and an embattled parapet. Initial construction began in 1847, but the original bridge collapsed in 1848, leading to a replacement that cost £9,803 to build.
