Headstone viaduct.
Headstone viaduct spans the River Wye at Monsal head, it caused controversy when first built by the Midland rail company in 1863. John Ruskin famously ranted that the valley has gone, and the Gods go with it and now every fool from Buxton can be in Bakewell in half an hour and every fool Bakewell can be in Buxton....Things have not changed much since then.......beats me why anyone would want to get to London half hour quicker at the cost of Billions of pounds
