Keekle Viaduct, Railway viaduct in Cleator Moor, England.

The stone structure extends across the River Keekle with seven identical arches, forming a connection between former stations of Cleator Moor West and Keekle Colliers Platform.

The viaduct, opened in 1879, carried the Cleator and Workington Junction Railway double track line until passenger services ended in 1931 and freight operations ceased in 1963.

The railway infrastructure near Cleator Moor, known as Little Ireland, represents the industrial development that shaped the region's identity during the Victorian period.

The structure remains standing but access requires caution as no maintenance or restoration work has been performed since its closure in the 1960s.

In 1992, the entire viaduct was listed for sale at one pound sterling, but no buyers accepted the purchase due to maintenance responsibilities.
