About

Lockwood Viaduct is a bridge in yorkshire. (Railway viaduct in West Yorkshire, England.) According to Wikipedia: "Lockwood Viaduct is a stone railway bridge that carries the Huddersfield to Penistone Line across the River Holme, in West Yorkshire, England. The viaduct is noted for its height,, leading one journalist to describe it as 'One of the most stupendous structures of ancient or modern times.' One local challenge has been to 'lob' a cricket ball over the viaduct, with some claiming that they have. The viaduct was completed in 1848 and is now a grade II listed structure."
