Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, Corby Bridge


DOMESTIC OCCURENCES.

... ...
The Newcastle and Carlisle Railway has commenced by the laying of the first stone of the intended bridge from Wetheral to Corby, across the river Eden, near to Corby Castle. The edifice when completed will be a most stupendous piece of workmanship. It will consist of five arches; and the viaduct or carriage road will be no less than 95 feet above the bed of the Eden. About a fifth part of the quantity of stone used in Waterloo Bridge, will be required for this.
