Solway Viaduct
Part of the 440 yard long sea embankment that formed the southern approach to the Solway Viaduct, seen in November 2007, with the last of the cast iron piers still standing. Some 5 miles away on the north shore is the decommissioned Chapelcross nuclear power station. Although the cooling towers were demolished earlier in 2007 the four Magnox reactor halls still stand. The last train crossed the Solway Viaduct in August 1921 and it was finally demolished by Arnott Young & Co of Glasgow in 1934/5.
