Kielder Viaduct
Kielder Viaduct spans the River North Tyne just north of Bakethin Reservoir and Kielder Water. It once carried the Border Counties Railway. The viaduct was completed in 1862 and designed by John Furness Tone, with Peter Nicholson devising the method for shaping the stone for the skew arch, with William Hutchison as the contractor. The railway over the viaduct was closed to passengers in 1956 and to freight in 1958. Kielder Viaduct was saved from demolition in 1969, when it was taken into the ownership of the Northumberland and Newcastle Society. The viaduct is a Scheduled Monument on the National Heritage List for England.
