About the Hewenden Viaduct: A good example of Victorian Engineering; this is one of the tallest viaducts in Britain. This railway link between Keighley and Thornton was crucial to the booming textile industry of the Pennine foothills. Train traffic stopped in the 60's and the viaduct was re-opened to pedestrians and cyclists in 2005.
