Bridge. Late medieval with C17 alterations. Stone with brick parapets.
Has three stone skew arches separated by triangular cutwaters with pedestrian
refuges; two further northern arches are C17 and are segmental; the southern
one is of brick. The first and second battles of Worcester, which opened and
closed the Civil War, took place at the bridge, in 1642 and 1651. The two
northern-piers of the bridge were destroyed by the Royalists in 1651. Part
of this bridge is in the City of Worcester (qv). (VCH, vol 4, p 184).
