Building on this thirteen arch brick structure began in 1882 to carry the Scarborough & Whitby Railway over the River Esk. It was constructed by John Waddell. The line closed in 1965 (Beeching) and the line now carries an interesting foot/cycle track.
It must be noted that the pictures I took under the bridge, although all taken from tarmac accessible by vehicle or on foot, were apparently taken on private property, restricted to residents of certain addresses. I misread the signs!
On the top, there's no feeling of exposure for someone who hates artificial heights (at least not for me).
Curious structures - four of these - two mirrored each side though the heavy metal plate at ground level is missing from two. I'd like some ideas as to what these might be
.
I suspect these are to stop the water eroding the supports (might be wrong - open to suggestions).
I love it!
Thanks for looking.
