Looking north through the arches of the ornamental stone road bridge crossing cutting No 1, on Lord Norton's property. This is a skew bridge at an angle of 52.45 degrees, comprising two segmental arches each of 26ft span. In accordance with Lord Norton's wishes, it is built of fine Derbyshire stone. A short distance to the south there is a bridge of similar design, the parapets of which are formed of the stone left over from the former; otherwise it is composed of brindled brickwork.
