Pensford Viaduct, Railway viaduct in Pensford, England
The stone and brick railway viaduct stretches 995 feet across the River Chew valley, featuring sixteen arches that reach 95 feet in height.
Construction of the viaduct began in 1874 by J. Perry from Tredegar Works, serving the Bristol and North Somerset Railway until its closure in 1968.
The Grade II listed structure represents Victorian railway engineering, with its stone piers, spandrels, and red brick soffits defining the local landscape.
The viaduct location allows visitors to explore walking trails in the area while observing the architectural details from multiple viewing angles.
In 1984, the viaduct was offered for sale at the price of £1, but maintenance costs prevented potential buyers from acquiring the structure.
