This picture carries us to a slightly different angle in our panoramic trip around the West end. You get a better view of the Newell Bridge.
There is no date on this picture, but the words "The West End Pottery" on the top of the building offers a clue to it age. The West End Pottery Company of East Liverpool, Ohio was in operation from 1893 to 1938. The viaduct is visible so it was sometime between 1906 and 1940.
The area above the pottery where you see two trees was at one time a cemetery. It was nicknamed "Skeleton Park" by many of the local residents.
