Stanford Bridge

Stanford Bridge is a road bridge over the River Teme, now serving as a pedestrian bridge, dated 1905. It is constructed of reinforced concrete and brick, featuring a single-span semi-circular arch that spans approximately 27 meters and is four yards wide. The spandrels have pierced openings, and the bridge is adorned with cast iron railings that have ball finials and standards spaced about two yards apart, also topped with ball finials. The brick abutments are capped with concrete.

At the north-east end, there are remains of an earlier bridge, likely from the early 18th century, made of brick with sandstone coping and splayed ends that terminate in circular piers. Inscribed above the archway on both sides of the bridge is the phrase "REBUILT BY WORCESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL 1905." The earliest recorded bridge at this location was a wooden structure from 1548, which was later rebuilt in brick, probably in the early 18th century. This brick bridge was replaced by a single-span iron bridge in 1797, which preceded the current structure. A new road bridge was constructed about 45 meters downstream in 1973. Although the bridge bears the date 1905, it was not officially opened until 1907 due to structural issues.
