Eastham Bridge, Historic road bridge in Lindridge, England
Eastham Bridge is a road crossing over the River Teme in Lindridge, originally built from brick and sandstone with three elliptical arches. The central opening spans wider than the two side passages.
The structure was built in 1793 as a toll crossing and kept that role until 1907, when Worcestershire County Council took ownership. Following its collapse in May 2016, it was rebuilt with a new steel structure that reopened in April 2017.
The bridge received Grade II listed status in October 1952, recognizing its architectural and engineering value within the national heritage protection framework of England.
The location is accessible by vehicle since the bridge is part of the main road allowing regular traffic. Visitors should be aware of active traffic on this road when exploring the structure and surrounding pathways.
The bridge displays a distinctive pattern of red and blue brickwork with circular flood outlets and pyramid-shaped tops on its square piers. These details make it recognizable and reveal the craftsmanship in its original construction.
