New bridge over the Churnet
New bridge over the Churnet, and new water feature, alongside Abbey Green Road. This is part of the new Sainsbury's development: the store nearby (west of this photo) opened in January 2013. As yet, the area to the left of the bridge, between it and the store, is still to be developed: the bridge leads nowhere.

Bridge over the River Churnet
This Grade II listed bridge is described as being 18th century. It spans a portion of the River Churnet which would have been remodelled at the time that James Brindley's mill was built, and the oldest available OS maps (1879) show it as giving access just to a small yard, leading to the mill weir. Could it be that the bridge was in fact designed by Brindley himself?
