Latchford Viaduct
A high railway bridge over the Manchester Ship Canal with the same engineers as the Forth Bridge, Arrol. Closed in 1985 because of maintenance and renovation costs. At the time there was even talk of closing Arrol's best known construction The Forth Bridge.
Today it is closed to all traffic and the Trans Pennine Trail uses the B5157.

Latchford Railway Viaduct (Disused)
Latchford viaduct was opened on 8 July 1893 to carry the London and North Western Railway's Stockport to Warrington line over the Manchester Ship Canal. Passenger services ended in 1962 but the line continued to carry freight until It finally closed to all traffic in July 1985, when the extensive repairs to keep Latchford viaduct operational were deemed too costly to make.
Much of the railway line is now used for the Trans Pennine Trail, footpath and bridle-path, but it has to deviate away from the railway line because the bridge is no longer considered safe and is sealed at both ends to keep trespassers off.
