Stanway Viaduct, Railway viaduct in Gloucestershire, England

The Stanway Viaduct stretches 656 feet across the Cotswold landscape with 15 brick arches, each standing 36 feet high and supporting a single railway track.

During construction in November 1903, four arches of the viaduct collapsed while a mobile crane operated on top, resulting in four worker casualties.

The Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway operates vintage locomotives across the viaduct, maintaining traditional railway practices from past centuries.

The viaduct requires extensive repairs due to water damage, leading to a fundraising campaign in 2023 to collect 1.5 million pounds for restoration work.

The structure incorporates Staffordshire blue brick throughout its construction, demonstrating industrial engineering methods of early twentieth century British railway architecture.

Made from material: Staffordshire blue brick
