Red sandstone. 7 arches of 13 metre spans on 6 piers, giving a height of 23 metres and 160 metres long. Similar architectural details as Corby Bridge. Henry Howard used this viaduct as an entrance gate to Corby Castle, having his coat of arms carved above the central arch of both faces and building a road through the valley beside Corby Beck. An early and important railway structure, forming an impressive landscape feature." |
