The Viaduct at Bessbrook: A Glimpse into the Past This photograph showcases the Craigmore Viaduct in Bessbrook, County Armagh, Northern Ireland, dating back to the early 1900s. The image offers a breathtaking view of the impressive structure, with its arches stretching gracefully over the tramway line. Bessbrook, a small town nestled in the heart of County Armagh, was once an industrial hub, and the Craigmore Viaduct played a significant role in its transportation network. The viaduct was built to carry the tramway line over the River Newry and the Bessbrook Canal, connecting the town with the surrounding areas and facilitating the movement of goods and people. The photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the hustle and bustle of activity that once took place beneath the viaduct. The steam-powered trams, laden with passengers and cargo, would make their way across the structure, leaving a trail of steam in their wake. The scene is further enhanced by the lush greenery that surrounds the viaduct, adding a sense of tranquility and serenity to the image. The Craigmore Viaduct stands as a testament to the engineering prowess of the past and serves as a reminder of the rich industrial heritage of Bessbrook and County Armagh. Today, the viaduct remains a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors from near and far who are captivated by its historical significance and architectural beauty.
