PELSHALL NORTH COMMONS BRIDGE 1824 SK019 044 N52o 38' 11.4" W1o 58' 47.3
This simple, early Horseley road bridge crosses the Wyrley & Essington Canal and was once adjacent to the Pelsall Iron Works (1832-1888), but is now in open fields. It has six ribs and solid arched spandrels with embossed cast detailing for decoration. The printing says Horseley Coal & Iron Works 1824. The masonry (alternating red and blue Staffordshire bricks) abutments and parapets give it quite a presence in the open commons landscape.
