Dent Head Viaduct
GV II
Railway viaduct carrying Settle to Carlisle railway line over
Fell End Gill. c1869-75, for the Midland Railway Company,
Chief Engineer John Crossley, resident engineer J.Underwood.
Rock-faced sandstone in massive blocks, mostly coursed but
some snecked, with brick soffits to the arches. Slightly
curved line on north-south axis. Ten tall round-headed arches
on battered rectangular piers, that in the centre broader than
the others and with a broad tapered pilaster; short
cavetto-moulded imposts at the springing of the arches,
rusticated voussoirs (now with 3 tie-plates to each arch), a
moulded string course, and parapets with rounded coping. Forms
a very striking feature at the head of Dentdale, and an
interesting contrast with the Pack Saddle Bridge approx. 10m
east (qv).
