Langley Viaduct


Langley Viaduct is a former railway viaduct over the valley of Langley Beck (Langleydale). The 11 arched bridge was built c.1863 for the North Eastern Railway Company. It was designed by Sir Thomas Bouch and built as part of the Barnard Castle to Bishop Auckland line, which opened on the 1st of August, 1863. The viaduct straddles the civil parishes of Langleydale with Shotton and Marwood. The railway line closed in 1962, and for a time a footpath ran over the top of it, but it was later declared unsafe and there is no longer any public access. It continues to occcupy a prominent position in the landscape. The viaduct is Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England.
