Cadishead Viaduct, Railway viaduct in Salford, England
The steel and brick viaduct spans across the Manchester Ship Canal with five sections, featuring a central span measuring 40 yards in length.
The Cheshire Lines Committee built this railway structure in 1892 to accommodate the Manchester Ship Canal, serving both passenger and freight trains until the 1980s.
The viaduct represents the industrial development of Greater Manchester, connecting communities through the Glazebrook to Woodley Main Line for transportation needs.
The structure stands at a height of 75 feet above the canal, with containers currently blocking both ends to prevent unauthorized access.
The Hamilton Davies Trust has proposed transforming this deteriorating structure into a multi-modal route that could include a heritage railway service.
