Title: Bennerley Viaduct re-opens (but not to trains), 13th January 2022 Post by: grahame on January 13, 2022, 17:24:45 From https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-59974752
Quote A Victorian railway bridge is back open to the public after more than five decades of dereliction. Bennerley Viaduct, which runs between Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, has been in disrepair since 1968, and was the only UK structure on the 2020 World Monuments Watch list. Repair works cost £1.7m, with £560,000 coming from the Railway Heritage Trust. The "Iron Giant" - one of only two such structures in England - began welcoming visitors on Thursday.
