Mansfield Railway Viaduct is a Grade II listed[2] viaduct in the town centre of Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. The 15-arch viaduct is 188 yd (172 m) long and was built for Midland Railway's 1875 Mansfield to Worksop Line.[3][4][5]
History
The viaduct can be credited to John Sydney Crossley, the chief engineer at the railway company, and consulting engineer William Barlow.[3]
Mansfield's former industrial success was attributed to the viaduct being built to support the export of production.[6]
The viaduct was specialist-cleaned and stonework renovated in the early 2000s. It is illuminated by floodlighting at night.[7]
