A Bridge Through Time

Perched high above the valley, the Monsal Head Viaduct stands as a striking relic of the past, gracefully arching over the River Wye. Once part of the Midland Railway, this historic structure carried steam trains through the heart of the Peak District, linking rural communities with the industrial cities beyond. Today, it serves a different purpose—offering walkers and cyclists along the Monsal Trail a journey through one of England’s most scenic landscapes.

This view captures the viaduct bathed in warm light, nestled within a patchwork of rolling hills and woodlands tinged with late-season hues. The sunlight highlights the contours of the land, revealing the depth of the valley, while shadows stretch across the scene, adding drama and texture. Above, wisps of cloud drift lazily across a clear blue sky, enhancing the sense of openness and tranquillity.

While the railway may have fallen silent, the viaduct remains a symbol of resilience—where nature and history intertwine. It’s a place that invites you to pause, breathe, and take in the grandeur of the Peak District, whether you’re standing at Monsal Head viewpoint or crossing the bridge itself.

Prints

This photo is available in a range of sizes, as a print on Fujicolor Professional DP II Lustre photographic paper. This paper has a semi-matte finish that enhances the colours and details of the photo, while also providing excellent resistance to fading and fingerprints.

Canvas

Framed with 100% solid pine, my canvases are hand stretched for a professional and durable finish. A canvas will give your photo a more textured and artistic look, as well as a gallery-style appearance.

Glass

Crafted on UK Pilkington glass offering exceptional durability and clarity, my work really shines on this medium. Each photo is UV printed to the glass, giving you a vibrant and vivid result.

Important Information

Cropping

Please note that some cropping may occur depending on the size you choose for your photo. This is because different sizes have different aspect ratios, which affect how the photo fits on the paper, canvas or glass. I will try to preserve as much of the original photo as possible, but some edges may be cut off to avoid distortion or blank spaces, or to accomodate the chosen size.

Colour Reproduction

Also, please be aware that colours may vary from what you see on your screen to what you receive in print. This is because different screens have different settings and calibrations, which affect how colours are displayed. Additionally, printing techniques and materials may also cause some slight differences in colour reproduction and saturation. The labs I print with use high-quality printers and papers to ensure that the photo looks as close to the original as possible, but some minor variations are inevitable and normal. If you have any questions or concerns about the colours of your photo, please contact me before you place your order.

Returns and Refunds

Due to the nature of my products, I do not offer refunds or returns after the sale. However, I understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise. If your order arrives damaged in transit, please contact me immediately with a photo of the damaged item. I will replace the damaged item at no additional cost to you. Please note: I cannot be held responsible for items lost or damaged in transit.

I hope you enjoy your photo and thank you for choosing SRB Photos.
