Railway arches, Leicester
The Great Central Railway was the last main line railway built in the Victorian era. It ran south from Sheffield and Manchester through Nottingham and Leicester, to a London terminus at Marylebone. It passed through Leicester to the west of the city centre. The route through the Braunstone Gate area was on a viaduct, parts of which survive such as here alongside Bede Street. The bridge in the background carried the railway across the River Soar.

Braunstone Gate Railway Bridge
A real feature of this street, popular for its night life, is this disused bridge that is rather spectacular. It is unfortunate that at present, this bridge has fallen into disrepair and is almost certainly going to be dismantled in the near future.
