English: This is a shot of the derelict Lobb Ghyll Viaduct, an incredible five arch construction hidden away in a bluebell wood by the River Wharfe to the south of Bolton Bridge in Yorkshire. Like most of the old railway structures in the area, it is hewn from a local type of rock called millstone grit. It was built by the Midland Railway in 1888 to connect Ilkley and Skipton. This stretch of the line was closed in 1965 in the Beeching Axe but a part of it lives on in the form of the Embsay Steam Railway which begins at Bolton Abbey Station, just over half a mile up the old line to the north of this spot.

The Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway has expressed interest in reopening this part of the line whilst the viaduct still is still viable - its structural integrity apparently remains strong and the stonework could feasibly support rail traffic again if investment money could be found. The proposal would involve re-establishing the connection down to Addingham, where a replica Midland Railway style train station is being considered - the old one was demolished to make room for new housing. It is an entirely plausible proposition but the money to fund such a project couldn't be acquired in a hurry - I wonder how much time Lobb Ghyll Viaduct has left without maintainence before it begins to crumble?
