Although "The Bridges of Madison County" are well known, it's less widely known that covered bridges originate in Derbyshire, UK.
Alvaston, once a quiet market town is now a bustling suburb of Derby, and it was here that the covered bridge originated in 1525. Legend had it that the first one was build to prevent itinerant peddlars from being hit by leaping salmon.
Pictures is the 19th century bridge over the river Derwent at Raynesway.
Bonus - Anyone want to buy me this car ?
