Tony Storey
This book was published to mark the completion of the restoration of the Alston Arches railway viaduct. The viaduct carried the Alston branch of the Newcastle & Carlisle Railway over the river South Tyne, at Haltwhistle.
The restoration was completed by the North Pennines Heritage Trust in 2005-6 with funding from the Heritage Lottery fund, the Railway Heritage Trust, and Tynedale District Council.
The book includes historical notes on other bridges over the South Tyne.
