The impressive Newton Cap Viaduct, opened in 1857 to bring the North Eastern Railway route south from Durham over the River Wear into Bishop Auckland. The line and viaduct were closed in 1968. The structure has since been adapted to handle road traffic and now carries the A689. View north east towards Spennymoor in September 2010.
