The bridge is listed Grade II* by Historic England for its special architectural or historic interest. <ref> [https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1100657 Victoria Bridge on the Historic England list]</ref>
The wording on each side of the bridge reads "[[Peto, Brassey and Betts | Messrs. Brassey & Co., Contractors.]]" "Victoria Bridge 1861 John Fowler, Engineer" "Cast and erected by the Coalbrookdale Company"
Although the deck of Victoria Bridge was built to single track width, the abutments were built wide enough for [[double track]], meaning the bridge could have relatively easily been converted to double track.
