The village of Chappel & Wakes Colne in Essex, UK, is famous for one thing - it's massive brick-built 32-arch railway viaduct over the River Colne. It is the largest brick-built structure in Eastern England and one of the largest anywhere in the UK. It currently carries the single-track stub of the Marks Tey to Sudbury branch line, until 1967 part of a through route from Colchester to Cambridge. DJI Mini 2 Drone shot 12MP camera.
