The Inn's http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2299107 sign depicts the Crumlin Viaduct, which opened in 1857 and closed in 1964. At 200 feet high at the highest point above the valley floor, and 1650 feet long (two spans, 1066 feet and 584 feet), it was the highest railway viaduct in Great Britain throughout its working existence. It was built by the contractor T. W. Kennard. The pub is on the corner of Kennard Terrace.
