Description and History of Site:-
Nine span masonry viaduct with arch rings in white firebrick spans the River Balder just west of Mickleton. The Tees Valley Railway was the remnant of a scheme for a line from Barnard Castle to Alston. It was opened in 1868 by an independent company and was taken over by the North East Railway in 1882. The line closed in 1964 and now forms part of the Tees Valley railway path.
