Opened in 1903 for the Axminster to Lyme Regis branch line, this 600ft long viaduct was the first in the UK to be built in solid concrete. Unfortunately, subsidence was discovered between two of the arches and the builders had to reinforce inside the arch. The line was closed in 1965 during the Beeching cuts.
Went out there today to have a look and take some pics. It's quite bizarre because it's just sitting there in the middle of the countryside with nothing to do, and to be honest I found it a bit spooky, even though I really like bridges.
Anyway, hope you enjoy the photos.
Before anyone starts singing about reindeers called Rudolph and the colour red, I have to tell you it was absolutely freezing out there!
Cheers
