Moulded string course to parapet and square end piers with globe finials (only one at north-west and remaining. July 1986). Initially built by the estate this bridge and its neighbour (see Adderley C.P.) were Widened by the County Council in 1940, reusing the ashlar masonry. The bridges carry the minor road from Adderley to Wilkesley across the River Duckow at a point where it has been widened to form an ornamental lake known as the Long Pool. Bankhouse farmhouse is in Adderley C.P. and is not included on this list. Anthony Blackwall, Historic Bridges of Shropshire, Shropshire Libraries, p.66.
