GV II
Lock tail bridge. c1771 by James Brindley. Handmade brick in English bond with sandstone dressings and some mid-C20 brick repairs. Elliptical arch, about 14 feet wide at base, with sandstone course above arch on both sides; curved parapet splayed at ends with repaired sandstone copings; lower parapet strengthened by upright metal tie-bar. The Droitwich Barge Canal is a broad gauge canal linking Droitwich with the River Severn. James Brindley acted as consultant engineer throughout its construction and it was completed in 1771. It was built to provide a reliable transport system for the salt industry and was worked by specially developed "wich" barges. It was under- going restoration at time of survey (September 1984) by the Droitwich Canals Trust. The bridge forms a group with Mildenham Lock (qv) immediately east of the bridge.
