This viaduct was used to Support the Somerset and Dorset railway line but it was closed in 1963. The gardens have been closed to the public and only open for special occasions but the good news is they have re-opened recently so I will be able to visit again.

It's fun to see a support that is not only functional but beautiful as well! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's great that they are reopened!

Good photo of the arch, a great engineering advancement that supplies the specialized support required for so many projects and buildings. So functional yet so simple and pleasing that it is an art form in itself.
