Restoration plan for 1881 city landmark
Derby Telegraph
|October 04, 2025
LISTED STRUCTURE IS A FAMILIAR SITE TO COMMUTERS
CORRODED and deteriorating posts and chains which form the 144-year-old railings of a well-known Derby landmark are to be replaced and refurbished at a cost of just over £230,000.
The Grade II listed railings form a barrier between the pavement and the carriageway on the east side of Duffield Road and work is needed to stop them from further decline.
It will be carried out from the Belper Road junction to opposite 131 Duffield Road.
Derby City Council has applied for listed building consent to carry out the refurbishment which is being paid for by the East Midlands Combined County Authority and comes on the back of road improvements in the nearby Five Lamps area, funded by the Bus Service Improvement programme.
The plan is to refurbish 166 posts and 155 spiked chain links.
An initial survey has been carried out which reveals corrosion of the cast iron is present and the protective surface paint is peeling and may not be the original colour.
