Description
a very good morning to you all :o)..
this is just a fraction of the railway viaduct i will show more of it tomorrow .i really enjoyed the fresh air it really perked me up and of course i got to take pics aswell :o)..
some information for you : the whole viaduct was completed in just over 4 years starting in 1848 and finishing in 1852 when at that time there were no cranes or diggers just horses and a pulley system . it cost £44,500 to build and is 760 yards long .the viaduct has 43 arches ,2 of them you see in my pic today spanning the river tees .they are 65 ft high and spans of 67 ft and took 139,000 cubic ft of stone .there is over 7.5 million bricks in this stucture .the viaduct was designed by thomas grainger and john bourne of edinburgh .some of the information came from internet sources and some from books .
todays music is provided by bob marley from the hi-fi not the head phones. it was going to be nat king cole but thought it was a little mellow for this time of the morning lol :o)..
have a great day my friends and thanks for looking :o)

This is an awesome photo, Mick! I appreciate the information, also. These ancient engineering feats amaze me! A mental game I play with myself is to imagine what it would take today to accomplish such a feat.
