This
Carriage Print shows
diiton viaduct and the West bank dock of the River mersey on the Liverpool approach to Runcorn bridge with Widnes in the background. The dock and sidings have now been filled in. The viaduct and bridge, which crosses over the Mersey, are both of great historical interest and well worth a visit.
Claude Buckle painted the picture in
water colour for the
railway architectural series.

It was built for the London and North Western Railway (LNWR) to a design by William Baker, chief engineer of the railway company. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II* listed building.
