Perry Bridge, Stone arch bridge in Perry Barr, Birmingham, United Kingdom.

The red sandstone bridge stretches 50 meters across the River Tame with a width of 4 meters and stone parapets rising one meter high.

In 1711, the Staffordshire Quarter Sessions commissioned this bridge to replace a wooden structure at a crossing point that dated back to Roman times.

The bridge design appears on the official badge of Handsworth Grammar School, representing a lasting connection to local educational institutions.

The structure now serves exclusively as a pedestrian crossing, while vehicles use the adjacent Art Deco bridge constructed in 1932.

The bridge maintains its original packhorse design from the early 18th century, featuring traditional construction methods and local sandstone materials.
