Bobbers Mill Bridge was built in the 1930s to carry a new, widened Alfreton Road. It superseded a level crossing on the old road, which crossed the railway immediately in front of the camera. In the days of steam this was a good place to collect engine numbers - if you liked coal trains, the staple traffic of the Midland Leen Valley line.
