Texture by Picmonkey •This imposing viaduct, located in the north of Northamptonshire, at the north-west corner of the village of Harringworth, spans the Welland Valley, and has a total length of three quarters of a mile. •It was completed in 1878 to carry the London and Midland Railway between Kettering and Manton. Over 2000 men were employed during the construction, and were housed with their families in huts, in a temporary settlement, named Cyprus. •The viaduct has 82 arches, each with a 40ft. (14 metres) span, and over 20 million bricks were used in its construction. •It remains in use today, and although the structure dominates the valley, it creates the impression of being in tune with its surroundings. •Though primarily used for goods traffic, passenger services occasionally use the viaduct at week-ends, while maintenance work is carried out on the main London to Leicester line.

Whitby is a town, port and civil parish in the Scarborough borough of North Yorkshire, England. It is situated on the east coast of Yorkshire at the mouth of the River Esk, surrounded by the North York Moors national park and the heritage coastline. A settlement with the Old English name of Streonshal was recorded in 656, when Oswy, the Christian king of Northumbria, founded the first Whitby Abbey, under the abbess, Hilda. The Synod of Whitby was held there in 664. In 867, the monastery was destroyed by Viking raiders, and was re-founded in 1078. It was in this period that the town gained its current name. In the following centuries Whitby functioned as a fishing settlement until, in the 18th century, it developed as a port and centre for shipbuilding and whaling, trade in locally mined alum and the manufacture of Whitby jet jewellery. The cliffs around Whitby hold ammonite fossils, and three green ammonites are featured on the coat of arms of Whitby Town Council.
