Summary
| Description |
English: Kings Mill Viaduct. Dating from 1817, Kings Mill Viaduct carried the Mansfield and Pinxton tramway across a small stream. The main line (still open as part of the Robin Hood line) was diverted round this section of the tramway; the viaduct now carries a footpath. |

The viaduct was to be demolished by the Mansfield Town Council about 1971 and was saved after a letter from Mr Alan Hughes, who was writing 'A HIstory of the Mansfield and Pinxton Railway' for Thesis at The Trent Polytechnic Department of Education. Details of Mr Hughes' request can be found in the 'Evening Post' of 17th march 1972, along with a photograph. Eventually the viaduct was spared and since then restoration work has been carried out.There was also a photograph in the 'Mansfield Observer' about the same time.(A.Hughes.7/12/2012)
