    that used to cross the valley near the pit between Woods glass works and Beatson Clarks (the winding gear is still there as a "monument")
    The bridge was a very high girder type structure, if I remember right, and stretched across towards Cundy Cross, over what is now the Dearne Valley park.
    Pics would be good.

    You just have to look up Cudworth Flyer online and u will see steam trains going over the viaduct. It was there in the 1960s when I used to play round there
