excellent shot :)

Wow ! Like you said yesterday, you would show more of this amazing viaduct, and this is a great angle giving a superb idea of how big it really is. And always good to see the sun lighting it up.

Looks like there has been quite a bit of work done on these arches over the years Mick, especially on the strengthening of it. The top left corner having the most of it. An excellent example of great engineering during the victorian era! Bravo!!!!!

great foto, show us the total structure pls.

Hey mate! wonderful view of this viaduct again, and OMG!!! I did not know it was this huge!! what a great capture of this massive viaduct! it is quite amazing indeed. G'day M8!

A magnificent structure! We have a pair of much shorter ones near me, both carrying rail lines. One of them used to be part of the old Somerset and Dorset before Dr. Beechings cuts.

Wonderful composition and perspective that enhances the viaduct,it's so big and beautiful to see!!!Have a great day Mick!!!:-)

una serie maravillosa de puentes bravo amigo

Really powerful POV on this. What an amazing structure!

Excellent photo.

Great Series. A really imposing building. Great POV and light here

Omg its humagous stillwould love to semore thank you for sharing superb capture !!!!

Great capture Mick, excellent well done.

nice view...

Then in 1848 - The building of Yarm viaduct in 1848 was a remarkable feat of engineering. There were no mechanical excavators or mobile cranes to call on at that time, and the building materials for this impressive structure that dominates the Yarm skyline, had to be hauled into position by teams of horses and a pulley system. Yet the structure was completed in just over 4 years. It cost £44,500 and is 760 yards long and was built to extend the Leeds and Thirsk Railway from Northallerton to Stockton and Hartlepool. The viaduct has 43 arches, two of which carry the railway over the River Tees, these are 65ft high and have spans of 67 ft and took 139,000 cubic feet of stone to build. Over seven and a half million bricks went into the building of the viaduct which was designed by Thomas Grainger and John Bourne of Edinburgh. The official opening was in May 1852. Three years after the opening, it was to claim the first of a number of fatalities. On an exceptionally dark wet night, a train overshot the platform and an unsuspecting stranger to the area in alighting from his carriage, stepped over the parapet and fell 74 ft. An inquest jury recommended that “some fencing be erected”. Over the years there have also been a number of suicides on the viaduct. Last year there was concern by residents living beneath the viaduct when a derailment on the line above them caused debris to fall into the street below. Arthington is known to date back to at least the Iron Age, 500 BC, when clearings were made in the forest, which was part of the Forest of Knaresborough. Arthington Church, built in 1864 and dedicated to St. Peter, is built from total sandstone. The spire can be seen from a great distance, standing 120ft high. St. Peter's Three Manual Organ is still played today by our very own Martin Binks. The railway in Arthington was built in the early 19th Century, and the grand viaduct built by Thomas Grainger in the 1840's. The Old School, at the top of Mill Lane, opened in 1872 and finally shut its gates in July 1973. exceptional capture and I would love to see in person

What a wonderful capture of this old bridge especially now that Richard has added history to it what fantastic facts making this image and history come to life. It certainly looks different taken from another angle Mick

i must point out that richard`s comments includes a place called arthington which is nowhere near this viaduct or where i live .i assume the last part of his comment is to do with thomas grainger and his life . mick

wow great shot it is really long, will have to see it myself one day.

Excellent picture. That is a lot of brick and stone, makes my back ache just thinking about it! ... :) Todd

Fantastic perspective... an amazing capture Mick!

A few years ago I remember seeing a documentary on PBS about this and I had forgotten about it until you posted your shot yesterday. Actually, it is this shot that was so familiar that I recalled the TV show. Good shot!

Awesome Shot!!

A wonderful capture giving a scale to this architecture. It is fabulous work Mick. Very well taken. Hope the weather improves for all of us. Hugs. Di.

really superb, excelent perspective and pov.

Very interesting series! I was thinking that something this massive and with the roman type arches, that it must have been built long ago. Very impressive architecture, Mick.

BEAUTIFUL SERIES DEAR FRIEND LOVE IT :)

Great shot.

Excellent Shot!!!!

I will be back up in your neck of the woods in at the end of April. How about meeting up for a day? I would love to see places like this or down on the docks by the transfer bridge. This is a great feat of engineering and a great photo!

Stupendous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
