Named after Mansfield floor mill owner Daniel Drury, the imposing Drury Dam Viaduct was constructed mostly from local limestone and carried a spur of the Midland Railway's Southwell-Mansfield line over the Maun Valley between Mansfield's East and South junctions. The line was first trafficked on 3rd April 1871 but the section over the viaduct was closed in October 1872, only to reopen again on 28th January 1906.
