Description:The High Bridge was made at Coalbrookdale works, ironbridge, and was constructed between 1829 and 1832. It replaced an older stone bridge which stood just downstream and crosses the River Trent between Handsacre and the Ridwares. It is Grade II* listed.
This picture is from an album of photographs taken by Thomas Harvey Boycott (1876-1949) who lived with his widowed mother, Fanny Maria, whose family had lived at Handsacre Hall as farmers, together with his unmarried aunt, Sarah Elizabeth Harvey. Harvey was a Clerk at Lichfield District Probate Court and a skilled amateur photographer. The album was a parting gift from Harvey and his mother to the Rev. R.E. Grice-Hutchinson (1885-1976) who was Curate of Armitage with Pipe Ridware 1909-1913.
