Hoobrook Viaduct
Further south still, the main line crosses over the impressive 20-arch Hoobrook Viaduct, 371 yards (339 m) in length, 75 feet (23 m) in height, comprising 7 million blue bricks and erected in 1884-5 at a cost of some £30,000. It replaced an earlier construction comprising 24 timber spans resting on sandstone columns, dating from the original creation of the line in 1851-2, whose partial collapse in 1883 brought about the building of the present viaduct alongside to the east. The sandstone abutments of the original structure can still be seen.
