Description

This is a canal accommodation bridge located on the Worcester and Birmingham Canal, built around 1805, with some repairs made in the late 19th century and mid-20th century. The bridge is constructed of brick and features stone copings. It has a semi-elliptical arch with a band above, and a plain stone-coped parapet. There is a pilaster at each end of the bridge. The responds have been repaired to a small degree using blue brick. This structure is included for its group value.
