Description
Hammonds Bridge No 32 is a canal accommodation bridge built in the early 19th century. It is constructed of red brick, featuring dressed sandstone and blue brick coping on the parapet, which has been partly repaired with concrete. The bridge has an elliptical arch and cambered sides. The parapet includes a two-course band at its base, is splayed at each end, and is finished with square piers. The Worcester and Birmingham Canal, for which this bridge was built, was commissioned by the Earl of Dudley and constructed between 1791 and 1815 to connect the Birmingham Canal Navigations with the River Severn, primarily to facilitate the transport of coal from the Black Country to the south-west Midlands. The towpath runs beneath the east side of the bridge.
