Railway viaduct, St Mary Cray
Image: © Malc McDonald Taken: 3 Oct 2021
A railway viaduct in St Mary Cray, in the outer suburbs of south east London. The viaduct carries the main line from London to Chatham, Dover and the Isle of Thanet. Look closely at the viaduct arches, and it may become obvious that it is two structures, one behind the other. The railway line originally had two tracks, carried by the viaduct further back. Two more tracks were added in the late 1950s, which meant the viaduct needed to be widened. This was done by adding the section of viaduct in front, closer to the camera.
