Description/History:
Friar Gate Bridge was built by Andrew Handyside & Co, of Derby, in 1876. The railway line closed in 1967, and the Grade II listed bridge was left to fall into disrepair.
It was eventually sold by British Rail to Derby City Council for a pound, when it was handed over, the bridge was freshly painted and in excellent condition.

Derby City Council have an obligation to maintain the bridge.
Petition:
