Baslow Bridge and Toll Shelter
A view across the ancient three arch Baslow Bridge, which spans the River Derwent, in the village of Baslow, Derbyshire, England. The narrow, stone road bridge, which dates from the 17th century, has what is believed to be a toll collector's shelter, built into the side of the bridge. The tiny toll shelter has two portholes and a doorway which is little more than 3ft, (1m) high. I took this photo when people were walking across, to give a sense of scale to scene.

The rail link has since been dismantled and instead, the viaduct now forms part of the Monsal Trail, which is popular with cyclists and walkers. Many people take a break once they reach the viaduct, to enjoy the magnificent views of the valley and the River Wye.

St Peter's Bridge, Burton on Trent
A view along St Peter's Bridge which spans the River Trent and the Trent Washlands between Stapenhill and Burton on Trent in Staffordshire, England.
The bridge and viaduct was officially opened by Lynda Chalker M. P., the Minister of State for Transport, on 14th November 1985. It was built as an alternative river crossing to the heavily congested Burton Bridge. St Peter's Bridge was opened to the first vehicular traffic on 21st August 1985. A local family, Steve and Linda Fowler and their daughter Stacey were in the first car to cross the new bridge at 6.45am. They formed a queue behind the barriers at 9.30pm the night before and stayed in the car throughout the night.
The plans for a second river crossing were first drawn up 120 years earlier, around 1865. The bridge took 18 months to build, and cost £3.5 million, which was paid for by Staffordshire County Council.
Further information has been added to the above description, because of the huge interest in this particular photo.
