Lambley Viaduct, 1966 View northward along the River South Tyne. At that time (1966), the ex-NER branch line, Haltwhistle - Alston, was still working, being closed 3/5/76. Since 1983 the railway has been partly restored from Alston as the heritage narrow-gauge South Tynedale Railway, albeit not yet over this viaduct.
