Notes about this historic site
1 Packhorse bridge across the river Tame. 3 bays with semi-circular arches of the 17th century and cut-waters to the piers, all of red sandstone; the middle being higher than the others causing a ‘hump-back’. The haunches and parapets are of red brick with stone copings, and square piers above the cut-waters, of the late 18th century. The gangway 1.4m wide has stone pitching on the rises.
