The Viaduct

Views of Viaduct
The viaduct is a beautiful structure on the Huddersfield railway line and a great landmark for Penistone. Here are some photogenic pictures from various times and conditions. The end nearest to Penistone collapsed in Feb. 1914. The middle picture, bottom row is a view of the first and second arches. The second arch was revealed when a speeding skip truck demolished the wall in Dec 2007.

Views from the Viaduct
It is not only views of the viaduct which are photogenic, most of the journey to Huddersfield is quite picturesque. Here's the start of that journey with views from a train window. There will be a new sight on the viaduct in 2010, when 'tram-trains' will be tested out on the 37-mile trip from Sheffield to Huddersfield.
