Built in 1841, the Ouse Valley Viaduct (also called Balcombe Viaduct) over the River Ouse on the London-Brighton Railway Line north of Haywards Heath and south of Balcombe is long. ==Description== The viaduct is high and is carried on 37 semi-circular arches, each of , surmounted by balustrades. Each pier contains a Jack arch with a semi-circular soffit to reduce the number of bricks required.〔 p.124.〕 At each end of the abutment is an ornamental square open tower, the brickwork of which is faced with stone from Heddon Quarries near Newcastle-upon-Tyne.〔Turner, p.124.〕 The viaduct was designed by engineer for the line John Urpeth Rastrick in association with the architect of the London to Brighton railway, David Mocatta. It has been described as “probably the most elegant viaduct in Britain.”〔''Our Transport Heritage,'' http://www.transportheritage.com/find-heritage-locations.html?sobi2Task=sobi2Details&sobi2Id=84〕
