New Bridge

Marsh Broad Bridge (Marsh Brode Bridge as Blacklock calls it) or New Bridge as it is now known, at the Eyton turn off the Broad, single arch stone.

The bridge crosses a stream that flows from south of Eyton, being joined by a number of drains on the way, under Cheese Bridge on the Eyton Road, past Croward’s Mill (the mill pond is not connected to this stream although they are close, the leat to the pond comes from the River Lugg), down to New Bridge and then along a drain beside the Ludlow Road to empty into the River Lugg beside Lugg Bridge.

The Court Leet records in 1635 fined ‘The Fellowship of Bochers’ for failing to repair the ‘Middle Bridge in the Lower Marsh Broad’. This is probably the same bridge location.
