Horns Bridge is a small area on the SE edge of Chesterfield, Derbyshire, which was well known for its congested intersection of roads, rivers and railways. The picture shows the lines of three Railway Companies - at the bottom is part of the Great Central 'Chesterfield loop', in the middle is the Midland Railway main line and at the top is the LD&ECR's ( Lancashire, Derbyshire and East Coast Railway) line from Chesterfield Market Place station to Lincoln (the train is heading east - towards Lincoln). In addition to the railways, there were two main roads (to Derby and to Mansfield) and two rivers (the Rother and Hipper). Demolition began in 1984 and by the 1990's very little remained - except the Midland main line.
