A photograph from a shopping trip to Leeds in June… On the rare occassions I go shopping I also try to fit in one of two things… some photography or a decent pint of beer.

On this particular day I managed both!

Bridge 225H carries the railway lines west of Leeds station over the Leeds & Liverpool Canal.

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Five years ago it was the comings and goings at Stenson Lock on the Trent & Mersey Canal, a gongoozling Photography Friday with Rachel.

The lock itself is visible through the bridge and to the right is the excellent Stenson Lock Coffee Shop (their breakfasts are well worth trying).

A pic from a recent wander along the Trent & Mersey Canal in Stoke-on-Trent.

A dull and damp day improved considerably by lunch from The Oatcake Boat!

Handyside Bridge spans the River Derwent in Derby and used to carry the Great Northern Railway’s (GNR) Derbyshire and Staffordshire extension from Eggington Junction to Colwick.

You can now walk across the bridge from Darley Park to Chester Green… to the Little Chester Ale House should that appeal 😁

A view of Montrose (road) Bridge seen from beneath the South Esk Rail Viaduct in October 2022.

The pretty uninspiring road bridge opened to traffic in 2004 and replaced a much more visually interesting structure dating from 1930. The 1430ft long South Esk Rail Viaduct was built by the North British Railway (NBR) in 1881 and carries a single-track section of the Edinburgh-Aberdeen main line.

Another image from my recent wander around Matlock Bath in June.

“In 1887 an iron bridge of 85 feet span was constructed, at a cost of £230, connecting the promenade with Lovers’ Walk, and at the same time the Promenade was laid out at a cost of £700” (an extract from Kelly’s Directory of Derbyshire, 1908).

The Grade II* listed St Mary’s Bridge in Derby has featured here before… and given my fondness for a pint (or two) at the Furnace Inn just a few yards away, it will no doubt do so again!
