Transport

The imposing 2,280 feet (690 m) long railway viaduct was built between 1849 and 1851 for the Leeds Northern Railway Company. Its designers were Thomas Grainger and John Bourne. It comprises 7 million bricks and has 43 arches, with the two that span the river Tees being skewed and made of stone. The original Yarm railway station, now closed, was situated on the Eaglescliffe side of the river at the north end of the viaduct. The current un-manned modern station, opened in 1996, is located on Green Lane near Conyers School, about a mile south of Yarm High Street .
