A long red sandstone railway viaduct with a freight train passing on top, its arches glazed as shopfronts along a cobbled strip behind a grass verge and a road with a cycle lane; purple Hotpod Yoga fronts in the two right-hand arches and The Reform Lab beside them
Hymers Court from across Brandling Street, September 2026.

Eight arches under the railway, fitted out with glazed arched shopfronts. They are the last arches at this end of the viaduct: beyond Hotpod, in Arch 8, the railway runs on a stone-faced embankment with no arches. The arches run right through the viaduct, so some units open onto Brandling Street, some onto Quaysgate on the other side, and some onto both. In September 2026 they held Hotpod Yoga in the two arches at one end, The Reform Lab beside it, Hidden Heights Creative Studio and JG Fitness Academy. Arches 1 and 2 were empty (both have been marketed to let), and Arch 5 is used by a business with no sign.

The arch numbers come from the businesses’ own addresses, the letting particulars and the numbers on the doors (3 and 4). The pin is halfway between Hidden Heights (Arch 4) and Hotpod (Arch 8), which are pinned on their own pages.
