Ouse Valley Viaduct

Balcombe, England

Limited Edition of 10 Museum Grade, Fine Art Prints.

The Ouse Valley Viaduct (also called "Balcombe Viaduct") carries the London-Brighton Railway Line over the River Ouse in Sussex. It is located to the north of Haywards Heath and to the south of Balcombe. Known for its ornate design, the structure has been described as "probably the most elegant viaduct in Britain." The viaduct is 96 feet (29 m) high and is carried on 37 semi-circular arches, each of 30 feet (9.1 m), surmounted by balustrades, spanning a total length of 1,480 feet (450 m). Each pier contains a Jack arch with a semi-circular soffit, which had the benefit of reducing the number of bricks required. The roughly 11 million bricks required for its construction were mostly shipped up the River Ouse (via Newhaven and Lewes) from the Netherlands. On 12 July 1841, the viaduct was officially opened to train services, although the structure was not fully completed until the following year.

I actually took this photograph of the old bridge as an afterthought when I was done getting the abstract image "Eternity". I decided I should get a perspective image to show what it is. For the photograph "Eternity" I was actually standing to the far right of this image against the last arch photographing down the center of the bridge.
