This was a brick-built "bridge to nowhere" originally featured in a short series in the Doncaster Evening Post in the 60s. It was demolished the 80s (I think); does anyone have any ideas regarding it's original purpose? Report as Inappropriate	Rick	Monday 19th of January 2015 04:42:02 PM
Red brick viaduct, allowed 1000's of workers to walk/cycle down from N/E areas and town and cross all the railway lines to get to mining supplies instead of everyone going balby rd/carrhill. I think it was blown up in the 70's during work hrs, many cars damaged and some injuries. The good old days! Report as Inappropriate	jonron	Saturday 5th of August 2023 03:25:22 AM

This viaduct can be seen with its girder spans in photograph EPW 012768.	Rick	Monday 9th of February 2015 03:00:23 PM
Looking at a 1931 OS map, this viaduct ran across the railway from Decoy Bank to Carr Hill and was known as Red Bank Viaduct; it seems a awfully large structure to use as a pedestrian walkway.	Rick	Tuesday 20th of January 2015 05:38:34 PM
