Camel's Head Bridge it says on this postcard, looking towards Saint Budeaux.

Weston Mill Viaduct, known locally as "Shakey Bridge", at 249 miles 45 chains mile post mileage from London Paddington Station via Bristol Temple Meads Station and Plymouth Station (Millbay), was 400 yards in length and 46 feet in height, according to "The History of the Great Western Railway: Volume 2: 1863-1921" by Mr E T MacDermot, revised by Mr C R Clinker, published by Messrs Ian Allan Limited, in 1964.  These dimensions are not guaranteed by the Old Devonport.UK website.

The original Viaduct was replaced by the Great Western Railway Company in 1903.
