Toadmoor Tunnel

Toadmoor Tunnel (originally called Hag Wood Tunnel) was built at Ambergate as part of the North Midland Railway, which opened in 1840. 128 yards long, it was cut through an unstable hillside on a notoriously difficult line of route. George Stephenson designed it with an elliptical shape so that it had least diameter vertically with most strength at the sides. Braced with steel hoops at its southern end. Due to unplanned earth movements, it took 15 months to build, instead of the planned two.

Bull bridge accident

The Bull Bridge accident was a failure of a cast-iron bridge at Bullbridge, near Ambergate in Derbyshire on 26 September 1860. As a goods train was passing over the bridge at Bullbridge, the structure failed suddenly, causing the derailment of the majority of the wagons. There were no serious casualties, but it was a warning of the fundamental weakness of many such bridges on the British rail network.
