Cole and shows the Grand Central Station which opened in 1844. In the 1830's 3 different railway companies were considering lines to or through Derby, and in 1836 the City Council successfully persuaded them to work together on the provision of one shared station, rather than one for each line. This collaboration also ended with the 3 companies amalgamating to form the Midland Railway in 1844, with the new station as their HQ, and Derby's sucess as a railway town was assured. The station was extensively remodelled in 1952 and again in 1985, when the remnants of the Victorian staion were demolished. A water stain to the right margin of the print which would be mostly hidden by a mount.

Ashley, and shows Robert Stephenson's new wrought-iron tubular railway bridge across the Menai Strait. This type of construction was very new and many doubted that it would succeed with such long spans, but rigourous testing by William Fairbairn suggested it could and the design was approved. The bridge opened in 1850 after 4 years of construction work. It survived until 1970 when it was damaged by fire, and had to be rebuilt - this time to a different design. Some waterstaining to the print.
