NU2111 : East end of Cawledge Viaduct
taken 4 years ago, near to Hawkhill, Northumberland, England
East end of Cawledge Viaduct
The viaduct, designed by Robert Stephenson and built in 1848-50, is 123m long with seven spans, the highest of 23 metres. It is claimed as 'the world's oldest masonry heritage railway viaduct' but surprisingly is not listed by Historic England. It was partially restored in 2016-20, with further work required.
The place of the former westbound track is now taken by a walking and cycle route.

Aln Valley Railway :: NU2011
The Aln Valley Railway is a heritage railway based in Alnwick, Northumberland. Construction of the railway is an ongoing project with the eventual intention being to reopen the old Alnwick Branch Line from the newly completed Alnwick Lionheart terminus station in Alnwick (not built on the site of the original station due to it being unavailable and there being new buildings on some of the trackbed into the town centre) to Alnmouth station.
