Description

Hartley Bridge is a bridge located at Chance's Glassworks, approximately 230 meters west of Spon Lane South in Birmingham. It was built in the early to mid-19th century and is constructed of sandstone, with some brick used in the parapets. The bridge features a single segmental arch, with rusticated voussoirs arranged in a honeycomb pattern. It has a low parapet topped with stone coping. Attached to the western parapet is a cast iron plaque that reads "HARTLEY BRIDGE." The bridge spans Telford's New Main Line, which was constructed in a cutting on the Birmingham Level and opened in 1828. It originally connected the northern section of Chance's Glassworks with buildings to the south of the canal, which were likely developed from the 1840s onward.
