Lockwood Viaduct, Railway viaduct in Kirklees, England
The stone structure spans across the River Holme with 32 arches reaching a height of 122 feet and extends for 1,100 feet in total length.
Engineer John Hawkshaw supervised the construction of this massive railway bridge, completed in 1848 at a cost of £33,000, equivalent to £4.3 million today.
The viaduct functions as part of the Huddersfield to Penistone Line, connecting communities across West Yorkshire through regular rail service.
The structure carries a single northbound track used for both directions, spanning over the B6108 and A616 roads while supporting daily train operations.
Two distinctive skew arches at the ends measure 42 feet and 70 feet, marking the points where the Meltham branch formerly diverged until 1949.
