hereford road skew bridge is a disused railway
hereford road skew bridge is a disused railway bridge in ledbury, herefordshire. built in 1881 to carry the ledbury and gloucester railway across the hereford road at an angle of approximately 45°, it was built as a ribbed skew arch with stone spandrels and wing walls, and ribs of blue brick.
