Northants’ ‘grandest and most perfect’ structure

Secret Northampton

Available for over a year

The Harringworth-Welland viaduct is one of the longest of its kind in Britain. Stradling the picturesque Northamptonshire valley, it is a magnificent example of Victorian construction and ambition. But the story of its construction is even more remarkable…. and terrifying. Helen Blaby tells that story. (Picture credit: Tigermad/iStock/Getty)
