Mansfield Railway Viaduct, is a Grade II listed[1] viaduct in the town centre of Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. The viaduct was built in 1875 for Midland Railway's Mansfield to Worksop Line.[2]

History

[edit]

The viaduct can be credited to John Sydney Crossley, the chief engineer at the railway company, and consulting engineer William Barlow.[2]

The Viaduct, Mansfield town centre

Mansfield's former industrial success was attributed to the viaduct's being built to support the export of production.[3]
