Description
Walford Bridge is an early 16th-century structure that was widened on the east side in the 18th century. The west side features seven pointed arches with keystones and stone pointed cutwaters, along with a pointed pedestrian niche. It has a brick parapet with stone coping. In contrast, the east side is simpler and does not include a pedestrian niche.
