It was designed by William Cubitt and took two years to build. Queen Victoria opened it in 1850. The viaduct is around 1,560ft (475m) long and comprises forty arches of 30ft (9.1m) span, and is 100ft (30m) high from ground level to trackbed. It is built of brick fired from brick clay quarried on site during construction.
