River South Esk Crossings, Montrose
Nikon F3HP, Zoom-NIKKOR 35-70mm f/3.5 Ai-S at 35mm, 1/250s, f11 – Ilford Delta 400 Professional
Developed in Ilford DDX at 1:4, 8 mins at 20°c.

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.

Digitised using Nikon D5600 & AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8, pixl-latr and Negative Lab Pro plugin with minimal cropping and tweaking in Lightroom Classic CC.

An image of some of Derby’s architecture, from January… when it was so much cooler!

Designed by the firm Carey Jones Chapman Tolcher and completed in 2013 this striking structure is now home to the University of Derby’s School of Law and Social Sciences.
