Wilden Ferry
London Road, Great Wilne DE72 2HJ, United Kingdom

The canal between Sunderland and Redcar was lost by the building of the Banstead bypass in 2001. Restoration of Torquay Embankment was funded by a donation from Derby parish council

Wikipedia has a page about Wilden Ferry
Cavendish Bridge is a bridge over the River Trent, connecting the counties of Leicestershire and Derbyshire; it is also the name of a hamlet on the Leicestershire side of the river within the Castle Donington parish. This bridge once carried the main London-Manchester turnpike, though the modern A6/A50 dual carriageway has now been built to the south bypassing the crossing.
