Teme Bridge

Teme Bridge is a road bridge spanning the River Teme, featuring six arches. Its core likely dates back to the 14th century. The south side was rebuilt in the 18th century, while the north side was widened by Thomas Telford in 1815. Further widening occurred in 1868 and again in 1908 by JH Garrett.

The bridge is constructed of ashlar stone, with reinforced concrete used for the widening and an iron balustrade. It has six spans and is angled towards the current at its center.

On the north side, there are three 14th-century ashlar, ribbed, round arches with integral cutwaters on both sides. The south side features three plain ashlar arches, which also have integral cutwaters on the west side, and a concrete pier and cutwater on the east side. Reinforced concrete segmental arches line both sides of the arches, springing from the cutwaters, with the east side extended to accommodate the road widening. A corbelled concrete balustrade beam runs along both sides.

Early 20th-century cast-iron railings end at ashlar piers topped with pyramid caps, with the north-east pier supporting a fluted cast-iron lamp standard. A cast-iron shield on the parapet railing bears the inscription: "THIS BRIDGE WAS REBUILT AND WIDENED BY COUNTY COUNCILS OF WORCESTERSHIRE AND SHROPSHIRE 1908."
