Andrew Handyside who made Friargate bridge in Derby made hundreds of different bridges around the world here is one such example located near Long Eaton, Nottinghamshire.

On Sunday I was on a train heading back from Wellingborough to Derby which passed over this viaduct so was able to get this little video of it as seen from the train.

This railway viaduct was built in 1894 by Andrew Handyside. It carries the Midland railway over the river Trent and though the Redhill Tunnel.

See my post about this bridge on my Andrew Handyside blog :
