View showing four of the five arches which gives this railway viaduct its alternative name. The viaduct was built by the Sheffield, Ashton-Under-Lyne and Manchester Railway, (later Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire), to take its line over the Scraith Wood Valley. Opened in 1845 with the last regular passenger train crossing in 1983. Herries Road was built, using one of the arches, in 1920. Image
