An elegant Victorian railway viaduct between the towns of Yarm and Egglescliffe and which dominates the town of Yarm as it soars over the rooftops. Its 43 arches are mainly in brick but those over the river are of stone and are skewed. Built for the Leeds Northern Railway between 1849 and 1851 the bridge cost £44,500 and was designed by Thomas Grainger and John Bourne. It is half a mile long and a plaque on the Yarm side gives details of its construction.
