====Penistone Viaduct==== This is a curving 29-arch [[Penistone Viaduct|viaduct]] which is {{convert|300|m|order=flip}} long and {{convert|30|m|order=flip}} high where it crosses the River Don. It is used by passenger services on the route from Sheffield to Huddersfield ("The [[Penistone Line]]"). It was built in 1850 by Sir John Fowler for the Huddersfield & Sheffield Junction Railway (later the [[Great Central Railway]]). The viaduct suffered a partial collapse in 1916. The viaduct crosses the B6462 Thurgoland to Penistone road as well as the River Don.<ref name=DavidJoybook>{{cite book|last=Joy|first=David|title=A Regional History of the Railways of Great Britain β Volume 8: South and West Yorkshire|year=1978|publisher=David & Charles|location=Newton Abbot|isbn=0-7153-7783-3|page=143}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Heritage Locations|publisher=Transport Heritage|url=http://www.transportheritage.com/find-heritage-locations.html?sobi2Task=sobi2Details&sobi2Id=470|access-date=25 July 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Penistone Viaduct|publisher=Graces Guide|url=http://www.gracesguide.co.uk/Penistone_Viaduct|access-date=25 July 2015}}</ref> [[File:Oxspring - Viaduct (Geograph-2519542-by-Dave-Bevis).jpg|thumb|top|right|Oxspring Viaduct]]
