IT stands as a monument to a forgotten industrial age - the Latchford Railway Viaduct  over the Manchester Ship Canal.
This high level bridge formerly carried the Ditton Junction to Skelton Junction railway over the canal.
In fact, it was built in 1893 - a year before the canal was completed and carried a busy passenger service which calls at stations like Warrington Bank Quay, Latchford, Lymm, etc.
Passenger services ended in 1962 but the line  continued as a good line until the 1980s, when as many as 60 trains were still using it.
The last train ran in 1985.
The railway track was still in place on the viaduct in 2005.
But the bridge is no longer considered safe and is sealed at both ends to keep traspassers off.
Much of the railway line is now used for the Trans Pennine Trail, footpath and bridlepath, but it has to deviate away from the railway line because of the unsafe bridge.
Should the line ever be reopened - which has been suggested from time to time - major repairs would be needed to the viaduct.
