Rotherham - Corporation Bridge
Photo taken from Don Street. Left to right can be seen:
The Don Navigation towpath.
The single-span Corporation Bridge carries Main Street over the Don Navigation.
Just beyond the bridge, the waterway splits into two. The left branch is the navigable Rotherham Cut and the right branch leads to a weir on the River Don. Between the two branches is Forge Island, currently home to TESCO.
The multi-storey building is the Keppel Wharf office block.
The spire of Rotherham Minster can just be seen on the right-hand skyline.

Rotherham - Don Street and Corporation Bridge
For a more complete photo of Corporation Bridge, please see Image
The black-and-white bridge parapet seen in the bottom right-hand quadrant of the photo is a bit of a puzzle. The design suggests that this Don Street bridge was built in the canal-building era. However, I am unsure whether it was an access to a wharf to the west of the Don Navigation or actually part of the Don Navigation prior to 1838. In 1838, the Don Navigation was diverted to make way for the building of the railway from Sheffield to Rotherham Westgate Station. The Wikipedia article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotherham_Westgate_railway_station provides a few clues but not a definitive answer.

Two faces of Rotherham
To the left the tower of the old Guest and Chrimes works. This company could trace its origins back to the start of the nineteenth century and became one of the town's major employers - producing a range of metal products for the plumbing industry. To the right you can see the brand new New York Stadium - the new home of Rotherham United F.C..
