Description
Chetwynd Bridge is a road bridge dated 1824, designed by Joseph Potter, the County Surveyor. It is constructed of cast iron and rusticated ashlar. The bridge features three segmental arches that span the River Tame, with latticework spandrels and a balustrade that includes panelled piers. The abutments curve around to form end buttresses, and additional buttresses flank the central arch. An inscription on the bridge reads: "CHETWYND BRIDGE / ERECTED BY THE / COUNTY OF STAFFORD / 1824 / SR. G CHETWYND BT / CHAIRMAN OF THE / QUARTER SESSIONS / JOSEPH POTTER / COUNTY SURVEYOR".
