My Dad used to catch the train across this viaduct to go to school in Annan in the 1920's. I always thought the original viaduct was built by the Romans and then later the remains converted to rail tracks. Perhaps you know?
Thanks for answering .I'm now thinking I may have misremembered that whole conversation about the Romans and the viaduct - especially seeing I can't find any reference to it ever having existed, guess i just imagined it :)) I've recently watched every doco I can find on Hadrian's Wall, especially its beginnings in Bowness and they make no mention of the viaduct.
I think including interesting information about locations adds a lot to a photographic vlog.
Pleased you think so Brenda. I plan to do more of that
A nice bit of history there mate
Thanks mate, pleased you enjoyed it 😊
Looks like an old gold sluice.
I had to look that up 😄 but yeah you could be right.... Maybe not gold though lol

That's so cool! That's news to me if that's true, I only know what I explained in this video

@@qatriona8 I didn't think it fit with what I knew about it 😬
Watch out for those ditches!
😄
the old machinery looks to me like it might be for sorting potatoes or some other vegetable.
Interesting 🤔 they didn't touch on it in the channel 4 program
