Building the last Main Line Railway

Flecknoe, Willoughby and Staverton: gcrcs133

View of Willoughby Viaduct after it had been completed and with embankments being near complete on either side. This handsome 13 arch structure (bridge No. 471) - the majority of which lay in Warwickshire with the northern end in Northamptonshire - carried the London Extension across the River Leam. It was built by T Oliver & Son, the firm responsible for Contract No 4 (Rugby to Woodford).
