Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of Halcrow Group Ltd (on behalf of Ringway) at Eckington Bridge B4080, Pershore Road, Eckington, Worcestershire (NGR SO 9222 4236; HER ref WSM 47377; SAM WT 319).Carriageway replacement works were monitored. The tarmac surface was removed and the concrete strengthening from 1914 revealed. The tops of each of the six arches were drilled to discover the depth of the concrete. The concrete depth ranged from 0.24-0.32m overlying the original sandstone bridge arches. The internal walls of the parapets and refuges were recorded photographically. Both the Ombersley sandstone from the 18th century rebuilding and the Red Grinshill sandstone used to replace damaged blocks in 1993 was noted. Due to shallow nature of the works no structural elements of the bridge predating the early 20th century were exposed within the carriageway, although sandstone was recorded in the lower sections of the parapet walls and refuges.
