St Mary's Bridge is a medieval stone bridge crossing the River Derwent at Derby, constructed in the early fourteenth century. The bridge survives as a notable example of medieval bridge engineering, featuring multiple stone arches and substantial masonry piers that have withstood centuries of river traffic and flooding. Originally built to facilitate trade and communication across the Derwent, the bridge formed a crucial part of Derby's medieval infrastructure and remains one of the town's most significant historical structures. The bridge has undergone various repairs and modifications over the centuries, particularly following flood damage, but retains much of its original medieval fabric.
