Knaresborough is an historic market town, spa town and civil parish in the Borough of Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England. Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, it is located on the River Nidd, 4 miles (6.4 km) east from the centre of Harrogate. An elegant stone viaduct over the River Nidd was built to carry a branch of the Leeds & Thirsk Railway. The four-span bridge stands 78ft high above the water, each span measuring 56ft 9in across. The arches of the bridge spring from halfway up the tall piers to form near-hemispheres. The rounded ends of the piers are extended upwards and finished in small, crenellated towers, which also adorn the stone parapets. More pronounced, half-hexagonal refuges top the abutments, marking the approach. The viaduct was designed to blend with the architecture of the town, and intended for completion in 1848. However, the near-complete viaduct collapsed on 11 March and took three and a half years to rebuild; the incomplete railway line was opened in October 1848 nonetheless (engineering timeline)
This super-strong K'NEX bridge is 93cm (3 feet) long, and is ideal for a railway layout.
