Information

The Briech Water viaduct doesn’t seem to be a listed building but continues to be owned by British Railway’s successors, the Historical Railways Estate, who care for over 3,000 redundant structures around the UK. The solid steel barriers preventing access to the deck of the viaduct are testimony that it is regularly inspected and might receive an element of maintenance.
