Thelsons Bridge , High Lane East

Coming from Ilkeston, one of the first things you would see would be the Thelson Bridge. This bridge spanned the road and carried the railway line from Derby Friargate to Nottingham Victoria. It got it's names from the advert for Thelson oils which could be seen from the Ilkeston side of the bridge.
