Parkhead Viaduct, Railway viaduct in Dudley, England
The brick structure spans across Parkhead Locks on the Dudley Canal, forming a crucial connection point in the local transportation network.
Built in 1880, the brick viaduct encases an original wooden structure from 1850 that carried the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway.
The viaduct represents the industrial engineering achievements of the Victorian era, marking a period of rapid railway expansion in England.
The structure undergoes renovation works to accommodate the Wednesbury to Brierley Hill extension of the West Midlands Metro tram network.
The last train crossed this viaduct on July 1, 1993, when a cable laying vehicle made its final journey before the track removal.
