The Cephos Bridge was in Blackbrook Road after the junction with Boardman's Lane. So called because of the big advert for Cephos headache powders painted on it. Was there when I was small and lived in Everton Grove. I think that Catholic School was built on part of the railway trackbed, so I am guessing some time in the sixties.

1968 it was knocked down,my brother worked for redifusion and they had cables running over the bridge for TV and radio( they were the first cable TV in the UK) they had to errect telephone poles across the road to take the cables when it was being demolished.
