Croft Viaduct is a railway bridge carrying the East Coast Main Line between Northallerton and Darlington in Northern England. The viaduct crosses the River Tees, the border between North Yorkshire and County Durham. Although it was an early example of a stone viaduct in the railway system, it is not the first true railway viaduct, however, it was the first railway viaduct in the United Kingdom to have been built with an oblique arch (or skew-arch). It was grade II listed in 1988, and had overhead line equipment installed in the early 1990s.

Croft Hall
Croft Hall is a historic building in Croft-on-Tees, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.
The building was constructed as a manor house, probably in the 15th century, for Richard Clervaux. It was rebuilt in the late 16th century, for Christopher Chaytor, and in the early 18th century was remodelled in the classical style, for William Chaytor. It was modified in the 19th century, probably by Ignatius Bonomi. Its owner at the time, another William Chaytor, later built Clervaux Castle nearby, and relocated there, with the hall passing to another branch of the family. The building was grade II listed in 1951.
The house is constructed of roughcast red sandstone, with painted stone dressings, on a chamfered plinth, with chamfered rusticated quoins, a coped parapet, and a hipped tile roof. There are three storeys and an L-shaped plan, with a front range of four bays, and a rear wing on the right. The central doorway has a fanlight with decorative glazing and a keystone, and the windows are sashes with keystones. The right return has two bays, and contains a French window.
Inside the house is a 19th-century staircase and panelling, said to have be relocated from the old Mansion House in Newcastle upon Tyne. Other internal carvings have been moved from Ripon. The hall has a 5 acres (2.0 ha) garden, which was laid out in the early 20th century.

Croft Hotel
The Croft Hotel is a historic building in Croft-on-Tees, a village in North Yorkshire in England.
The hotel was constructed in 1835 by Ignatius Bonomi, to accommodate visitors to the old and new spas. In about 1860, a ballroom range was added to the west. The building was grade II listed in 1988. In 2023, it was purchased by the Apartment Group, which spent £2 million restoring the building. As of 2024, it offered 24 rooms, a function suite, gym and restaurant, and was marketed as a wedding venue.
The building is roughcast with a Welsh slate roof, and has two storeys and an irregular plan. The main entrance block projects slightly, and has a coped gable acting as a pediment. There are three bays, and in the centre is a porch with square Tuscan porch and a flat roof. The block is flanked by two bays on the left and three on the right. All the windows are sashes, the window above the doorway with an architrave and a pediment. To the left is the ballroom block, taller, with four bays, and in the right bay is a Tuscan doorway with a pediment. To the right is the former coach house, also lower, with a pantile roof and six bays. In the ground floor are segmental-arched openings, and the upper floor contains horizontally-sliding sash windows.
