Tees railway viaduct, Railway viaduct near Barnard Castle, England.
The steel and stone structure stretched 732 feet in length and rose 132 feet above the River Tees, connecting South Durham with Lancashire Union Railway.
Engineer Thomas Bouch, who later designed the Tay Bridge, constructed this transportation link across the River Tees in 1860 to support regional railway networks.
The viaduct represented a period of industrial advancement in Victorian England when railway infrastructure expanded rapidly across the northern counties.
The structure remained operational until 1971, when authorities decided to demolish it due to declining railway traffic and maintenance requirements.
Plans exist to construct an 870-foot pedestrian suspension bridge at the former viaduct site, which would become the longest of its type in Britain.
