Wheatley Viaduct is a former railway bridge straddling the Hebble Brook on the northern side of Halifax, in West Yorkshire, England.
[2][3] The line had two major engineering features, the viaduct, and nearby 810 yards (740 m) Wheatley Tunnel, with the cost of the 3-mile (4.8 km) branch coming in at £300,000 (equivalent to £41,704,000 in 2023).
The piers have springer stones facing out into each arch; it is believed that these supported the timber frame during the building phase.
[13] Whilst the line was closed to passenger trains in 1917, goods continued until final closure in the summer of 1960.
[15] In November 2023, the Historical Railways Estate announced that they would be carrying out over £1 million worth of renovations to the viaduct to remove vegetation, replaced water-damaged bricks and to reinforce one of the piers.
