Stone piers and arches; red brick parapet with deep saddleback stone coping some repairs in blue brick, mostly in English or English Garden Wall bond. Five main elliptical stone arches with voussoirs, the central widest with keystone, also flood-arch with keystone at north end and further angled flood-arch at five end. Five cutwaters and five refuges on cast side, none on west side. Parapet has double dogtooth string-course at base; brick and stone end piers; parapet curved at south-east corner to accommodate abutment, flood-arch and east approach, and extending south to border main approach.
Central arch enlarged by William Sandys circa 1635 when Avon made navigable from Tewkesbury to Stratford via Pershore, and bridge further repaired/remodelled after damage in Civil War.
