Wetheral Viaduct

The Wetheral Viaduct was known as Corby Bridge and marked thus on Ordnance Survey maps. This name is less common today, perhaps to avoid confusion with the Corby Viaduct to the east of Corby Gates. This engraved stone is half way along the viaduct. It reads Corby Bridge - Francis Giles Civil Engineer - William Denton Builder - MDCCCXXXI MDCCCXXXIIII ie construction was between 1831 and 1834.
