58040 Langley Mill381x22
At the time a popular bridge for photographers on the Erewash.....Bridge 34a at Lee Lane ,Langley Mill was in a poor state as can be seen here the day before it was replaced.....The extra strengthening had been put in on the wider trackbed of the former Ripley route, some would say to hold up all the gricers that would stand in that corner....While the bridge had been left to rot externally.....an equally neglected 58040 "Cottam Power Station" heads an unidentified south bound MGR from the Nottinghamshire coalfield on 13th Feb 98....Today we have the new replacement green footbridge,but unfortunately its becoming increasingly surrounded by trees.
