Larpool Viaduct




Larpool Viaduct formerly carried the Scarborough & Whitby Railway over the River Esk , just south of Prospect Hill Junction in Whitby, where the line met the Whitby Redcar And Middlesbrough Union Railway . It is a brick built structure, with 13 arches built by the noted railway contractor John Waddell . On the north side of the river, it also crosses Northern Rail's Esk Valley Line (formerly the Whitby And Pickering Railway ) between Whitby and Ruswarp Railway Station s.

The viaduct now carries a cycle path.
