Wribbenhall Viaduct is situated immediately north of [[Bewdley]] station where it can be seen from the platforms. The viaduct was built in 1859; the Chief Engineer and Resident Engineer being [[John Fowler]] and and [[Henry Orlando Bridgman Bridgeman | Henry BridgmanBridgeman]] who were also responsible for [[Victoria Bridge]].
The viaduct was originally built using a combination of red brick and locally quarried sandstone. The latter was prone to weathering, and in 1915 large sections were cut out and replaced by blue engineering bricks.
