Wolverton Viaduct

About

Wolverton Viaduct is a bridge in west midlands. (Bridge carrying WCML over the Great Ouse.) According to Wikipedia: "Wolverton Viaduct is a railway bridge carrying the West Coast Main Line over the River Great Ouse near Wolverton, part of Milton Keynes, in southern England. Built in 1838 for the London and Birmingham Railway (L&BR) to the design of Robert Stephenson, it was the largest viaduct on the L&BR's route. It is in the centre of Wolverton Embankment, itself the largest on the line. It has six brick arches and covers a distance of 660 feet, reaching a maximum height of 57 feet above the river, and terminating in substantial abutments which contain decorative arches. The viaduct and embankment feature in drawings by John Cooke Bourne. Several contemporary commentators likened Stephenson's bridges to Roman aqueducts."
