A view the viaduct from downstream, looking inland. The train is heading towards Staithes station. Chris Davies tells us:”The engine is a Raven/Gresley A8 4-6-2t hauling a train of ex-NER and a Thompson suburban brake of the LNER.” Francois Andre Greef advises: “I deduce from the way the river flows beneath the photographer that he was standing on the old trestle bridge at the Granary Yard, and not on the “Lower Bridge”, which rested on stone bulwarks. The old bridge was where the stepping stones are today.”
