Railway viaduct. 1849. By A S Jee Huddersfield and Manchester Railway
Co. Rock-faced stone. Total of 23 arches. Each arch is
semi-circular, has [b]rusticated voussoirs[/b], and is supported on
a rectangular pier with projecting plinth and springing
band. 3 of the arches are skew and flanked by flat
pilasters; they are Nos. 9, 15 and 21 (counting from the
south). This was already part of the LNWR before completion

I've no idea what rusticated voussoirs are, but it's a listed building...

Not a viaduct, but a very impressive bit of Roman engineering I ran under a few weeks ago that seems in the spirit of the thread:

It's notifiable, contact your GP asap..

(I wonder if I can get a sick day by ringing in and saying that I can't work because of rusticated voussoirs?)

OK!
Fareham viaduct. Which used to be a nice sight on my commute, but the traffic through it rather spoiled the effect.
