From Arch to Arch
Taken for SSC 01/12/2018 - Shot through a hole .
Bad weather and still issues go on so one chance this week ( so long as the internet holds out , it still needs a fair bit of TLC - another engineer coming out Monday ) . Had to go down to the postal sorting office and it is near these bridges and the shot I saw going over the road bridge previously . Trouble is it was quite late in the afternoon and the weather was very rainy and light levels getting on for twilight . Even though it was Black Friday last week and I updated my dslr ( but still to push the shutter button yet ) I took the little pocket camera , dashed to the bridge looking down through the two railway viaducts over the River Mole . Took 7 or 8 shots each with a different creative filter settings and this one came out the best to compensate for the awful weather conditions .
The Leatherhead to Dorking line crosses the River Mole three times. The first viaduct, just south of the junction at Leatherhead, is quite ornate. It is in red brick and has four round-headed arches. Decorations include stone imposts and a string course, arch bands and a roundel of raised brick in each spandrel. The brick balustrade is an attractive feature.
A five-arch viaduct takes the Leatherhead to Effingham Junction line over the river on a curve. Three arches are over the river, with one either side.
I must say there has to be an awful lot of bricks in these viaducts - a ha ,
