Bridge in Birmingham, England
Perry Bridge , also known as the Zig Zag Bridge , is a bridge over the River Tame in Perry Barr , Birmingham , England . Built in 1711, it is a Grade II listed building [1] Scheduled monument .[2] [3]
The bridge is constructed of red sandstone in a packhorse style. It is believed that it is the bridge built by order of the Staffordshire Quarter Sessions , held in 1709, to take the place of a 'wood horse bridge' (Perry Barr was in Staffordshire until 1928). It is said to have been built by Sir Henry Gough of nearby Perry Hall .[4] Ryknild Street (today's Aldridge Road) crossed the river, giving rise to the local placename, "Holford ".[5]
Written evidence of this crossing date back to as early as 1509 when there was mention of a field, named "Bridge Meadow", being located nearby.[6]
Sign that was erected near the bridge circa 1905 and removed when the new bridge opened in 1932
The bridge is 50 feet (15 m ) in length and 13 feet (4 m ) wide.[7] m ). It is now open only to pedestrian traffic. It appears in the badge of Handsworth Grammar School .
A replacement bridge, in Art Deco style, built in 1932, stands alongside, and carries vehicular traffic on the route.
