You all know I love a good viaduct, and Smardale Gill is absolutely top drawer.

Fourteen stone arches carrying a former railway across Scandal Beck, built in 1861 as part of the South Durham and Lancashire Union Railway. It once formed part of the route carrying coke across the Pennines towards the iron and steel works of Barrow and West Cumberland.

Did you know? The viaduct was built wide enough for double track, but only ever carried a single line. A proper bit of Victorian confidence, that.

Northern Perspectives is about capturing real places across the North - the big names, the hidden corners, and the bits of engineering that still make you stop for a second.
