Dinting Viaduct, Railway viaduct in Glossop, England
The Dinting Viaduct stretches across Glossop Brook and the A57 road with its stone arches and wrought-iron girders spanning the valley at 125 feet high.
First opened on August 8, 1844, as part of the Woodhead Line by the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne and Manchester Railway with timber arches later replaced by iron girders.
The viaduct design reflects Victorian engineering methods, featuring eleven semi-circular approach arches made of brick and four main spans with four ribs each.
Network Rail completed a £6.4 million refurbishment between 2012 and 2013, strengthening girders, installing new bearings, and repairing steel and masonry components.
A tragic incident in 1855 led to safety improvements when two passengers fell from the low parapet, resulting in the installation of protective fencing.
