Denby Dale Railway Viaduct, Railway viaduct in Denby Dale, England.
The stone railway viaduct spans 990 feet across the Dearne Valley with 21 arches, each measuring 40 feet in width and reaching 112 feet in height.
The current stone structure replaced an earlier wooden viaduct in 1880, after the original timber construction from 1847 suffered damage from severe weather conditions.
The viaduct represents the industrial growth of Yorkshire during the Victorian era, connecting the important manufacturing centers of Huddersfield and Sheffield.
The structure continues to serve the Penistone railway line, allowing trains to cross the valley while providing walking paths underneath for local residents.
The viaduct construction required over 100,000 tonnes of stone and resulted in financial losses for the local contractors, Naylor Brothers.
