Rocester Bridge is a road bridge built in the mid-19th century. It features chisel dressed ashlar and rock faced ashlar abutments. The bridge has a single segmental arch that spans the River Dove. It includes a moulded parapet string leading to a coped parapet with a hollow chamfered under edge. There are wide flat buttresses on each side of the arch, topped with pyramidal caps. The abutments end in oblong section piers, also capped with pyramids.
