Railway bridge over the Erewash Canal, Sawley (2)
Built in 1840 for the Midland Counties (later Midland) Railway, an early example of a skew bridge, Listed Grade II.
This span over the Erewash Canal is not original, although the stone abutments are. Originally the bridge comprised cast iron arch ribs. These were replaced in the 1905 by the current steel plate girders, The lattice girder was added some years earlier when a footway was added to the south side of the bridge, but is now purely decorative. See the listing description https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1417992 for very comprehensive information about the bridge, and http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5643525 for the east span.
