Railway bridges at Ambergate
On the right is one of the original arches of the Derwent Viaduct, built 1836-40 for the North Midland Railway under the auspices of George and Robert Stephenson, and now Listed Grade II*. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5432898 The bridge was widened and the new bridge built to the left when the junction at Ambergate was remodelled and improved in 1930-31 by the London Midland and Scottish Railway.

Derwent Viaduct, Ambergate
Part of the 5-arch skew viaduct built by George and Robert Stephenson for the North Midland Railway in 1936-40.
The viaduct is Listed Grade II* for among others, these reasons:
“It is considered to be one of the best preserved examples of the pioneering phase of railway development in England, and retains many of its original engineering structures;
. . . it is one of the few surviving stone viaducts on the line and exemplifies the architectural flair with which the Stephensons applied themselves to engineering challenges. Cutting-edge developments in skew arches were designed specifically to meet the requirements of the railway, enabling them to be built in large numbers for the first time. Skew bridges represent a truly innovative engineering solution of the pioneering phase of railway development. This outstanding structure was at the forefront of railway engineering in the world.” https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1417625
