Lands Viaduct
The remains of Lands Viaduct on the S&D 1863 route between Bishop Auckland and Barnard Castle. The 160 feet high, 640 feet long viaduct, designed by Bouch, carried the line over the valley of the River Gaunless, including the Haggerleases branch. The line closed in 1962 with the metal decking removed for scrap shortly thereafter. Left to right are the Western abutment, remaining standing concentric brick piers and eastern abutment. Rubble from previously felled piers is just discernible in the centre of the photograph. See image 36762
