Description


CHESTER-LE-STREET SOUTH BURNS
NZ 25 SE
(West end, off)
4/32 Railway Viaduct
over Chester Burn
II

Railway viaduct carrying 2 tracks over Chester Burn. 1868 for the North-
Eastern Railway Company. Light-red engineering brick in English bond; stone
plinths and parapet band.

Tall, c.230-metre long viaduct. 11 elliptical arches, in 7 rows of header
bond, on thin slightly-battered piers with tall rock-faced plinths; arches
partly refaced on west. Moulded band at track level. Low parapet with paired
end piers.

Late C20 railings and cantilevered refuges are not of special interest. An
important townscape feature.
