Welland Viaduct, Railway viaduct in Harringworth, England
The brick railway viaduct stretches 1,275 yards across the River Welland valley with 82 arches, each spanning 40 feet in width.
The Midland Railway constructed this structure between 1876 and 1878, using 30 million bricks manufactured in temporary kilns at the building site.
The Grade II listed structure represents Victorian engineering achievements and remains the longest masonry viaduct across a valley in Britain.
The rail line carries freight trains and a daily passenger service between Melton Mowbray and London St Pancras via Corby.
A German Zeppelin targeted this railway viaduct during World War I due to its role in transporting troops to English Channel ports.
