From E (liturgical S). Roman Catholic parish church built at the expense of the earl of Shrewsbury and designed by A. W. Pugin, 1838. This is as good a photograph as I could manage of the nave and aisles, which are rather more austerely treated than the tower , which faced Bridge Gate.

Derby: St Mary's Church 2012-12-10

From S (liturgical W). Roman Catholic parish church built at the expense of the earl of Shrewsbury and designed by A. W. Pugin, 1838. List description: list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1215808 . The list description refers to a "tall slender spire", but, although this was proposed, it was never built, according to The buildings of England: Derbyshire (corrected reprint of 2nd edn., 1979), p.171. The bridge in the foreground dates from 2007 and crosses the ring road; I suppose that the opening up of this view of St Mary's may have been one of the ring road's few benefits, from a townscape point of view.
