Viewed from Station Road. The Bridges public house is on the right. The viaduct, built in 1859-60, has 10 arches each approximately 10 metres wide and 20 metres in height. The 6th arch is across the River Darent. The viaduct was designed by Victorian architect Joseph Cubitt, known for designing the original Blackfriars Bridge in London. It was built by teams of Irish 'navvies' for the London, Chatham and Dover railway.
