Persistence in the face of adversity! This is a very good example 😀 Well done! I think you said 1841- it’s amazing just how accurate engineers had become so early into the Victorian age.Thanks
Glad the weather held off enough for you to visit the viaduct. I’ve driven past it loads but only stopped once, last summer around sunset - it’s magical. Ironically, its construction used the Ouse navigation which made that as busy as it had ever been. However, shortly after the viaduct was opened, the Ouse navigation was abandoned!
Enjoyed your visit to the viaduct, but I would just like to add the following comments.The bricks used in the construction were designed around what became known as a London brick. They were handmade from local clay utilising several small suppliers. They were not imported from the Netherlands although the ornamental stone was imported from Caen France. The Brighton Evening Gazette was,however impressed and quoted the vital statistics of the viaduct adding 11,300.000 bricks have been made from the soil of the neighbourhood independently of about 480,000 feet of the finest Caen stone. This stupendous undertaking has been completed in eighteen months.
Wow great Viaduct

I thought it would be a complete wash out but it turned out a great video.
Excellent stuff!
Thanks Dave.
Well done for pulling out a good video in the face of adversity!
Tough life isn't it?
Thanks Marq, a great video despite the weather. I was a huge fan back in the day but I wouldn't have recognised Arthur Dent’s Cottage. Keep well Marq.
Cheers Danny.

Thanks Colin for further information. Very interesting.
Good work buddy
Cheers Mr Suggett.
Great video! Would you consider taking us on a tour of your theatre, if you haven’t done so already? Keep the videos coming, please.
That's an idea although there is a lot of Footage in this Video we did back in 2016... th-cam.com/video/nDBWmFrQPFo/w-d-xo.html
@@MarqEnglish Excellent, thanks! Watching it now.
