Iford Bridge

Iford Bridge is a structure spanning the River Stour, built in three sections from the mid 17th century to the early 19th century. The easternmost section, dating from the late 18th to early 19th century, is constructed of red brick with stone coping along the parapet. Although all arches are now blocked to the base of the parapet, there were originally six round-headed arches featuring stone linings on the soffits. These arches alternate in size and are flanked by pilasters, with two pilasters in the center creating a blind, round-headed panel.

The middle section, dating from the mid 17th century, is made of ashlar stone, combining mixed ironstone and Purbeck stone. It has four round-headed arches separated by pointed cutwaters, with a red brick parapet that also has stone coping.

The westernmost section, built in the late 18th century, is constructed of grey ashlar with ironstone banding on the cutwaters. It features four round-headed arches with piers that stand on mud islets, topped with a cornice and a parapet with coping. The cutwaters between the arches have recessed circular panels above them on the south side of the bridge.
