Belmont Viaduct
Belmont Viaduct is a railway viaduct over the River Wear, built in 1856 for the Auckland branch line of the North Eastern Railway. It is located north of the City of Durham, about ½ mile north-west of Carrville and 1½ miles east of Framwellgate Moor. The viaduct, now disused, is Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England.
