the oldest bridge crossing the river Teme to allow north-south progress on the west bank of the Severn. The first skirmish, 23.9.1642, of the English civil war and the last major battle, 3.9.1651, took place on and near this bridge. It is now sadly neglected (despite being a scheduled monument and Grade II listed) to the extent I felt a bit sorry for it.
