Friar Gate Bridge, Derby

From Graces Guide

Constructed in 1878 by Andrew Handyside and Co. It is a remnant of the GNR Derbyshire and Staffordshire Extension and formed the approach to Derby Friargate railway station, carrying the tracks on a pair of iron arch bridges.

See Wikipedia entry.

Iron castings are prominent, but the structure probably incorporates riveted wrought iron beams.
