Although the reservoir and waterworks were built in the 1960s, the bridge dates back to the 19th century and the era of the construction of the railway. It provided access to Eyemore Farm, which was located immediately south of the railway, from Eyemore Wood to the north of the railway.
The reservoir was constructed in 1964 and commissioned in 1967.<ref>[[Bibliography#Books|Marshall (1989)]] p. 95.</ref> The main farm building still stands, although its extensive gardens are mostly lost under the reservoir.<ref>[https://www.parksandgardens.org/places/eymore-farm ParksAndGardens.org]</ref><ref>A plan of the Eymore Farm estate (Scale: 3 chains:1") from 1865 is held by Worcestershire Archive and Archaeology Service, Reference: 705:550/BA4600/489/iv</ref>
[[List of infrastructure#Bridge renumbering|During the BR era the road bridge was numbered Bridge 19]]. It is part of the southern section of the line bought at the end of 1972 and opened in May 1974.
