SY3192 : Cannington Viaduct
near to Holcombe, Devon, Great Britain
Cannington Viaduct
This 600ft long viaduct was opened in 1903 to carry steam trains on the branch line from Axminster to Lyme Regis. It was the first viaduct in the UK to be constructed in concrete, but the builders encountered subsidence and had to fill-in and reinforce the arch on the left.
Sadly the line was closed in 1965 and this is all that remains except for the original Lyme Regis Station, which was rescued and now used as a buffet at Aylesford station in Hampshire.
