Bennerley Viaduct
One of only two remaining wrought iron viaducts in England, Bennerley Viaduct was built in 1877 for the Great Northern Railway Company to carry the railway between Derby and Asworth Junction across the Erewash Valley. It closed in 1968 as part of the Beeching cuts. It has survived several attempts to demolish it and is now a grade II* listed structure and is on the Heritage at risk register. Restoration work to create a public walk and cycleway started in 2020.
