Glazen Bridge On the turnpike from Bewdley to Worcester and rebuilt by the county council in 1925 with an iron balustrade.Not a particularly distinguished bridge (in my opinion) but selected for a mention in Fred Brook, The Industrial Archaeology of the British Isles, 1 West Midlands (1977). This crosses the Dick Brook.
