Broadbottom Viaduct, Railway viaduct in Broadbottom, England.
The Broadbottom Viaduct stretches 422 feet across the River Etherow, standing 120 feet high with its stone piers and iron construction.
Joseph Locke designed this railway viaduct for the Sheffield, Ashton-Under-Lyne and Manchester Railway, which opened its services in 1842.
The structure represents the Victorian railway expansion period, connecting Manchester to smaller towns through the Glossop Line railway network.
The viaduct carries regular train services between Manchester Piccadilly and northwestern Derbyshire, with Broadbottom station located nearby.
Originally built with wooden components supported by stone piers, the structure was later upgraded to wrought iron box girders for increased durability.
