HFF!

Welland Viaduct, Harringworth Viaduct or Seaton Viaduct,[3] crosses the valley of the River Welland between Harringworth in Northamptonshire and Seaton in Rutland, England.

The viaduct is 1,275 yards (1.166 km) long and has 82 arches, each with a 40 feet (12 m) span. It is the longest masonry viaduct across a valley in the United Kingdom.[4] It was built by contractor Lucas and Aird and completed in 1878 and is now a Grade II listed building.[5]

The Welland Viaduct is on the Oakham to Kettering Line between Corby and Manton Junction, where it joins the Leicester to Peterborough line. The line is generally used by freight trains and steam specials. In early 2009, a single daily passenger service was introduced by East Midlands Trains between Melton Mowbray and St Pancras via Corby, the first regular passenger service to operate across the viaduct since the 1960s. The viaduct is on a diversionary route for East Midlands Trains using the Midland Main Line route.

Good strong lines in your photo! There seems to be plenty of grass but horses always seem to think it's greener elsewhere;-) HFF, Peter!

Hi Gudrun,
Thank you for visiting!

Maybe it is because it is longer elsewhere, hence more food per bite!!

Hi Peter, these viaducts always make for great captures. I saw from my car the other day, two meeting together at different angles so I must try and get there one day with my camera (about 20miles from me.) Anyway a great job here. Well done.

HFF, have a great weekend. Herb

Hi Herb ,
Your visit is most welcome. Thank you.
I am pleased you found it interesting.
I remember many big viaducts around the Oldham - Huddersfield area from my student days (when I used to travel by train.) Even though the rails have probably gone, I guess the masonry is still there..

Hello Peter

What a lovely shot indeed and one that give an insight to the scale of this amazing structure .. i am sure the horse is more interested in finding a new piece of lush grass though than its record breaking stone neighbour :))

wishing you an HFF and hope you have a good weekend Peter

Best wishes ... Steve

I am glad you like the picture. As you say, we don't build in brick any more, always concrete and steel... Sometimes that can be nice, sometimes not!!
