Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of the Environment Agency of the bridges at North Littleton, Worcestershire (NGR: SP 0841 4774 - SP 0820 4709; HER ref. WSM 34453). The North Road Bridge and South Road Bridge are considered to date from the 18th century, with 19th and 20th century repairs and alterations. The Farm Access Bridge is of probable 19th century date. They are largely constructed of locally sourced Oolitic limestone rubble masonry; are unadorned, functional and in the vernacular style. The Footbridge, which also incorporates brick and iron in its structure, may be of slightly later, 19th century date. Observation of the demolition works did not identify any evidence for earlier structures, tracks or road surfaces pre-dating the present bridges. |
