Painting, watercolour, Wetheral Viaduct from Wetheral
Mill, Corby Bridge on the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway,
Wetheral, Cumberland, by Matthew Ellis Nutter, about 1835.
The composition is dominated by the viaduct which towers
above the scene; to right of foreground a man leads a horse
along the wide path running alongside the river Eden; two
children playing at the water's edge watch him as he
approaches. A wooded hillside descends to the water's edge
on the far bank of the river.
inscription on reverse (now covered by backboard) reads The
Viaduct at Corby for the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway
