Breadsall Viaduct
Click an image for a large framed picture, but please wait for all the pictures to load first

The GNR line from Ilkeston to Derby went to Derby over a large viaduct just on the outskirts of Breadsall Village, the area around the Meteor Centre now occupies the site.  Pictures of this viaduct and the associated information is courtesy of Tony Griffin. The pictures below were taken in 1975, the steel skew span indicates the point at which the Little Eaton branch of the long-gone Derby Canal once passed beneath

Above right Breadsall Viaduct is blown up by Ogdens of Otley at 10am Sunday 23 September 1979. The blast blew out some of the shop windows behind us as we watched, due to low cloud and the pressure wave!

 

Two views from Mansfield Road bridge in 1973, on the left is looking westwards towards Breadsall, and on the right the Friargate line heads out towards the Morley Tunnel
