Northbound EWS Coal Working Photographed on Ribblehead Viaduct Through the Fallen Down Wall

            Without doubt Ribblehead Viaduct is the "Centre Piece" of all structures along the line. It is the most famous of all the viaducts and certainly the most photographed. During many visits to Ribblehead I constantly searched for photographic opportunities that other enthusiasts had not yet discovered and perhaps on this occasion I was successful with a collapsed dry stone wall providing a unique framing opportunity to capture this Northbound EWS coal working.

Originally known as Batty Moss viaduct, most, if not all of the limestone used in its construction came from the Little Dale quarry, located approximately half a mile to the north. The first stone was laid by William H. Ashwell during a ceremony on October 12 1870 and the structure was completed in 1875. The viaduct was originally designed by John Sydney Crossley (1812-1879) to have 18 arches, although this was later changed to 24. The piers are sunk 25 feet below the moor level and are 6 feet thick, excepting every sixth pier, known as "King Piers" which are 18 feet thick. Over 1,500,000 stone blocks of Hardraw Scar Limestone were used in its construction, with some weighing in excess of 7 tons.
