* Newman & Co (Lithographers). Crumlin Viaduct, on the Newport, Abergavenny & Hereford Railway Extension to Taff Vale. Mr Charles Liddell Engineer, circa 1857, hand-coloured lithograph possibly after a drawing by T. W. Kennard, the contractor who built the viaduct, some spotting, 305 x 455 mm, mountedQty: (1)NOTESA scarce lithograph of the Crumlin viaduct which was unusually constructed of iron rather than stone. Iron was chosen because of the difficulties of shipping stone to Wales and because iron would provide a more stable structure than stone. An extraordinary engineering achievement, it remained the highest railway viaduct in Great Britain throughout its working life and the third highest viaduct in the world. It was not without its problems, and as had Liddell predicted, the location proved to be susceptible to high winds and resultant swaying, resulted in continual and expensive maintenance. It was, therefore, no surprise when, following the post-World War II nationalisation, British Railways reduced the entire extension line to a single track after 1947 and following the Beeching Act and the subsequent cuts, the last scheduled passenger train ran over the bridge on Saturday 13 June 1964, the 21:10 from Pontypool to Treherbert. The viaduct was dismantled and the last girder was removed in 1967. This image shows a train crossing the viaduct, with another in the valley below.
