The Iron Giant that Survived
Kieran Lee will be delivering a presentation on Zoom about the fascinating Bennerley Viaduct story. The story charts the reasons for building the viaduct, the ingenuity of its design, the working life of the viaduct, the Zeppelin bombings. Future plans are explained. Gustav Eiffel, D.H.Lawrence and Tarzan even make an appearance!.
The viaduct became redundant as a railway structure in 1968, and since that time, the viaduct became abandoned, uncared for and marooned…….. but the “Iron Giant ” survived. For several decades, the community have been in the forefront trying to protect the structure from demolition and the campaign to save and restore the structure continues.
Bennerley Viaduct is being transformed from an neglected abandoned structure into an inspirational Community asset. The story is a tribute to the makers of the viaduct and a tribute to the community who love it and are driving forwards an inspirational project.
