Vintage Print Of Crimple Valley Viaduct Harrogate Crimple Valley Viaduct, also known as Crimple Viaduct and Crimple Beck Viaduct is a railway viaduct which crosses the Crimple Valley between Pannal railway station and Hornbeam Park railway station in North Yorkshire. It is a Grade II* listed structure. It is 1,872 feet (571 m) long and has 31 arches, each of 52-foot (16 m) span, which reach a maximum height of 110 feet (34 m) above the Crimple Valley. The viaduct is also built on a rising gradient of 1-in-91, which levels off on the approach into Harrogate itself. The sharp bend in the track on the south side of the viaduct causes trains to reduce speed significantly. Older Pacer rolling stock units are locally known to loudly squeal whilst passing around the tight bend due to increased pressure on the bogies and wheels. It was completed in 1848 for the York and North Midland Railway company, and opened for traffic in July of that year.[11] It is built of brick, and rusticated grit stone ashlar. The viaduct was designed by James Cass Birkinshaw. **Fast dispatch guaranteed! Here at Harrogate Oxfam, we post out orders 6 days a week.**
