Description

SO 8494-8594 12/158

TRYSULL AND SEISDON C.P. STAFFORDSHIRE AND WORCESTERSHIRE CANAL Bridge No 49 (Awbridge Bridge) and associated lock

(Formerly in Wombourne C.P.)

II

Canal bridge and lock. Circa 1770. Red brick with stone coped parapet. Single three-centred arch with perforated parapet above, separated from the parapets of the abutments by pilaster strips with pyramidal caps. The towpath underneath the bridge is flanked to the left by a coped wall; to the rear a short flight of steps leads up to the lock. The Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal was opened through Wombourne parish in 1770; the engineer was James Brindley and Awbridge bridge and lock may represent his first attempt at combining a lock and a bridge on a public road.
