Description
Hopwas Bridge is a road bridge over the River Tame, built in 1796. It is constructed of ashlar and features five elliptical arches, with three arches on the west side designed to accommodate flood water. The bridge has piers with pointed cutwaters and paired Tuscan pilasters. It also includes a frieze, a roll-moulded band, and a plain coped parapet. This bridge was built to replace a previous structure that was destroyed by flooding, similar to the situations at Lady Bridge and Fazeley Bridge.
