Battersea Bridge, London. Made in Derby by the Phoenix Foundry. Opened 1890.

The ironwork of the bridge has been constructed and erected by the Phoenix Foundry Company, Derby, and the granite for the piers and abutments has all been supplied by the Kit Hill Granite Company, Gunnislake. We understand that every stone has gone into its place without any alteration, The arches of the bridge consist of 175 cast iron girders, 

The segmental girders weigh from eight to ten tons each, and the whole of these were cast by the Phoenix Foundry Co.

Here are some photographs of the bridge I took in September 2024

Here is a video I took of Battersea Bridge in September 2024 

If you know of any items around the world that have the mark "Phoenix Foundry Derby" that I have not yet mapped out please get in touch with details.

Former Watson's Esplanade Hotel, Mumbai, India. now known as Esplanade Mansion. Made 1867-71

In Kala Ghoda, Mumbai India stands what was once Watson's Esplanade Hotel. It was the worlds first multi-story habitable building in which all loads are carried by an iron frame.
All of the ironwork for this building was made in Derby at the Phoenix Foundry and shipped over to India between 1865 and 1866 as prefabricated sections.

The hotel was assembled between 1867 and 1869. Its final design was by the civil engineer Rowland Mason Ordish, who was also connected to the design of the roof of St Pancras Station in London... as well as the Crystal Palace in London. Ordish was based in Derby and worked alongside the Phoenix Foundry.

This is a rather interesting video about trying to save the building
