Elliptical arch and cambered sides; parapet has a 2-course band at its base, is splayed at each end and is terminated by square piers. The Worcester and Birmingham Canal was built for the Earl of Dudley between 1791 and 1815 to link the Birmingham Canal Navigations with the River Severn. It was intended primarily as a means of supplying coal from the Black Country to the south-west Midlands. The towpath runs beneath the east side of the bridge.
