Lambley Viaduct, Railway viaduct in Northumberland, England
The stone bridge extends over 260 meters across the River South Tyne, featuring nine arches that rise 33 meters above the water.
Built in 1852 by the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, the viaduct served as a crucial transportation link for coal and lead from the Alston mines until 1976.
The Grade II* listed structure represents Victorian engineering excellence through its construction methods, using massive rough-faced stones weighing up to 500 kilograms.
Visitors can access the viaduct via a footpath from Lambley village, though one end remains fenced off near the former railway station.
The single-track railway deck measures only 3.5 meters in width, demonstrating the precise engineering required for early railway infrastructure.
