Hockley Railway Viaduct, Railway viaduct in Winchester, England
The Hockley Railway Viaduct extends across the River Itchen and water meadows with 33 spans covering a length of 2,014 feet near Winchester.
The London and South Western Railway constructed this viaduct in 1891 to connect the Didcot, Newbury and Southampton Railway to their main line.
The viaduct now forms part of National Cycle Route 23, serving as a recreational path for local residents and visitors exploring Winchester's industrial heritage.
Winchester City Council and Hampshire County Council invested £750,000 in restoration works, completed in 2013, to transform the structure into a public pathway.
The viaduct's construction combines a solid concrete core within its pillars, concealed behind a brick exterior sourced from Poole Brickworks and Blanchards.
Official opening: October 1891
