Lockwood Viaduct

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, (being an average of 122-foot (37 m) high, but at its maximum, to the top of the parapet level, it is 136 feet (41 m)), 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.

George Searle Phillips (a Huddersfield journalist in the 19th century),[11] described it as being "One of the most stupendous structures of ancient or modern times.

However, a railway historian cast doubt on this, and the local paper, in the interests of health and safety, dissuaded readers from trying to emulate the feat.
