  • Description

    "Hownsgill Viaduct was built in 1858-9 to replace two inclines on the Stanhope and Tyne railway. After the line was closed in 1966, the trackbed was converted into a foot- and cycle-path which forms part of National Cycle Network route 7 and the world-famous C2C cycle route. The 53 metre high viaduct has been the site of a large number of suicides and in 2013, the graceful lines of this listed structure were modified by the erection of these anti-suicide nets. Compare with [[3146612]]." Photo by Oliver Dixon, 2014.
