Description: History and photographs of this railway bridge built for the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway. Opened in 1902 and dismantled in 1962.
The viaduct over Breydon Water was the largest and grandest engineering structure on the whole of the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway network. It was used to connect Yarmouth Beach station with the Great Eastern Railway line from Yarmouth South Town at Gorleston. Breydon viaduct consisted of five spans, the second of which (from the southern end) was an opening one which rotated horizontally around its mid-point, allowing two 60ft clearways for shipping to pass.
