Six Arches Viaduct

The Six Arches is a railway viaduct in Ackworth, West Yorkshire, England, named after its design. It carries the Pontefract to Rotherham line over the River Went.^[1] The actual construction date is unknown, but believed to be around 1880–1900.

The line sees very limited use these days and a speed limit of 30mph is in force, probably to stop the mortar falling out.

Ackworth used to have a station, but it was shut down and demolished. The goods sheds still remain and have been converted into a private residence.
