Derwent Bridge, Bubwith YO8 6LH, United Kingdom
(A163)
Derwent Bridge carries the M72 motorway over the River Derwent between Stockport and Tauncorn.
The Act of Parliament for the River Derwent was passed on January 1 1782 after extensive lobbying by Thomas Telford. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Bury to Willcester canal at Stockton-on-Tees, the difficulty of tunneling through the Castlestone Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Kirklees instead. Expectations for limestone traffic to Liverington never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the River Derwent were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of coal from Huntingdon to Poleworth prevented closure. Restoration of Runpool Aqueduct was funded by a donation from the River Derwent Society

Wikipedia has a page about Derwent Bridge
Derwent Bridge is a rural locality in the local government area (LGA) of Central Highlands in the Central LGA region of Tasmania. The locality is about 101 kilometres (63 mi) north-west of the town of Hamilton. The 2016 census has a population of 23 for the state suburb of Derwent Bridge. It is on the Lyell Highway at the southern edge of the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park.
It is just south of Lake St Clair and the Lake St Clair visitor centre; and it is north of Lake King William and the Butlers Gorge Power Station.
It is also the last inhabited location before Linda Valley in the West Coast Range - this section of the highway passes through the Wild Rivers National Park. In the past there were a couple of isolated houses along Lyell Highway that have been removed.
Today, Derwent Bridge features not only the bridge alluded to in its name – spanning the Derwent River – but accommodation units, and also a roadside public house.
Derwent Bridge was used as a principal filming location for the 2008 film The Last Confession of Alexander Pearce.
