I have posted this one unedited apart from 50% Sharpening at 1.1 Pixels in PS

Great drama. The only change I'd make is to crop tight to the bottom curve of bricks, and lose the non-brick bit right at the top.

The Chappel viaduct was built between 1847 and 1849 for the Colchester and Stour extension of the Eastern Counties Railway. Originally planned to be a timber structure, the viaduct was built of locally made brick because of the additional cost of maintaining a timber structure. Approximately 600 men were involved in the construction, most of whom were local East Anglians. The cost of construction was approximately £21,000.^[4][5]

The viaduct consists of 32 arches of 30 feet (9 m) span, with a total length of 1,136 feet (346 m), and a maximum height of 80 feet (24 m). The piers consist of two shafts, separated by a 6 feet (2 m) opening, and joined at top and bottom by arches; each shaft contain a hollow void 4 feet (1.2 m) by 3 feet (1 m) maximum, partially filled with concrete to the level of the bottom arch. The running level of the viaduct has a gradient of 1 in 120^[4][5]

The viaduct became a listed monument in 1967,^[6] and is thought to be the second-largest brick-built structure in England after Battersea Power Station.^[7]

These are really interesting images. Now that I have seen the more normal image of the viaduct my head does not have to try and work this one out. Nice one.

Yes! Absolutely like that. You may not agree, but that small crop makes (to my eyes) a huge difference.

The crop suggested by Chris works well just needs verticals tweeking to the left
I have eventually sorted out what it is with the help of your other post
Flipping it 180 degrees makes an interesting abstract once straightened

[stevedevil]

Yes when I looked at the image I wanted to spin it 180 Degrees too..  I am taking my Ladders next time, as want to get "Mid Arch" to have a symmetry effect top and bottom

 

I think the camera was straight, they must have built it wonky
