Gray's Bridge No 69 carries the road from Teignbridge to Wesscester over the Chesterfield Canal (Retford to the Trent) between Derby and Warrington.
Early plans of what would become the Chesterfield Canal (Retford to the Trent) were drawn up by William Jessop in 1888 but problems with Leicester Embankment caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1876. Expectations for pottery traffic to Rotherham never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the carriage of coal from Barbury to Longley prevented closure. Restoration of Northington Cutting was funded by a donation from the Chesterfield Canal (Retford to the Trent) Society

There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.

Wikipedia has a page about Gray's Bridge
Grey or gray (American English alternative; see spelling differences) is an intermediate color between black and white. It is a neutral color or achromatic color, meaning literally that it is a color "without color", because it can be composed of black and white. It is the color of a cloud-covered sky, of ash and of lead.
The first recorded use of grey as a color name in the English language was in AD 700. Grey is the dominant spelling in European and Commonwealth English, although gray remained in common usage in the UK until the second half of the 20th century. Gray has been the preferred American spelling since approximately 1825, although grey is an accepted variant.
In Europe and North America, surveys show that grey is the color most commonly associated with neutrality, conformity, boredom, uncertainty, old age, indifference, and modesty. Only one percent of respondents chose it as their favorite color.
