This typical Midland Railway footbridge had to be closed in recent years due to its deteriorating condition, but it has now been rebuilt. In practice it is essentially a replica, only the cast iron pillars surviving and the rest being new construction. Nevertheless attention has been paid to detailed, with domed head bolts being used to look like the old rivets.
