This dramatic aerial view captures Newton Cap Viaduct stretching across the lush Wear Valley near Bishop Auckland, just as a heavy rainstorm gathers in the distance. Originally constructed in 1857 to carry rail traffic over the River Wear, the Grade II listed structure now serves as a road bridge, elegantly spanning the countryside with its series of striking red-brick arches.
The moody skies rolling in contrast beautifully with the rich green of the landscape, adding a dynamic sense of movement and atmosphere to this otherwise tranquil rural setting. A perfect print for anyone who appreciates classic engineering, North East history, and the raw beauty of approaching weather.
