Canal road bridge. cl77I by James Brindley. Red brick in English bond
with part-dressed splayed sandstone rubble parapet. High round-arched
bridge, about 18 yards long and with cambered abutments; beneath arch
there are 12 high level scaffold bearers with hardwood padstones still
retained on either side. A bridge number plate (7) is attached to the
north side of the bridge. The towpath passes beneath the bridge on the

barge canal is a broad gauge canal linking Droitwich with the River Severn.

barges.
