Date:1974

Description:Railway bridges over the junction of Horsefair with Armitage Road (left) and Brereton Road (right) in Rugeley.

Note the antler light fittings on the pier between the arches. Originally gas-lit, they were donated to the town by the railway company in 1859. They were removed in the mid-1970s. In October 2016 they were recovered, repaired and fitted with modern solar-powered LED lighting due to the efforts of Dave Lucas, with local councillors, the general public and local business and organisations contributing money and skill.
