Kilton Viaduct, Railway viaduct in Loftus, England

The Kilton Viaduct extends 207 meters across Kilton Beck with twelve piers positioned 14 meters apart and rises 46 meters above the water level.

Built in 1867 by the North Eastern Railway company, the viaduct required reinforcement in 1911 due to mining-related ground instability beneath its structure.

The viaduct represents the industrial development of Cleveland region, connecting multiple mining communities and facilitating the transportation of minerals by rail.

The structure continues to support freight transportation to Boulby Potash Mine, maintaining its role in the regional industrial infrastructure network.

The viaduct contains 176 tonnes of wrought iron and needed 720,000 tonnes of ironstone waste to create a supporting embankment beneath its structure.
