Sandsend Viaduct, Near Whitby (YB0003)


[50cm x 60cm]

£55.00

Although the majority of Yeoman images are of his local Teesdale, there are a large number of photographs from further afield.

This extraordinary and evocative image of the railway viaduct at Sandsend has a carefully placed train complete with posing driver and fireman. On the left of the picture a girl sits outside the cottages while washing dries on the hedge nearby.

Although the figure in the foreground is not identified, he is most likely to be the viaduct's designer or engineer. This is a common feature in Yeoman images of newly-constructed viaducts, suggesting that he may have had a contract with the railway companies to record their new feats of engineering.

For its detail and content alone this must rank as one of Yeoman's most successful images, very typical of its period.
