Structure


Ouseburn Viaduct is the sister viaduct of another at Willington. It is a wrought iron reconstruction of the original laminated timber structure, built by John Green in 1837-9. It is 918 feet (280 metres) long, with four stone approach arches and five main arches, carrying the railway 108 feet (33 metresetres) above the Ouseburn. The stone piers carried the original timber structure and were probably designed to be reused when the timber was replaced. LISTED GRADE 2*
