Geocache Description:

A naughty little nano.

The original bridge at Stanford was built in 1548. It was later replaced by a brick and strap bridge with three arches. This collapsed into the Teme and was replaced in 1797 by a single span iron one. This bridge was replaced in 1905. The 1905 bridge is of Ferro concrete pre cast with a 99ft span. When opened it was the longest span of concrete in the world. A new bridge was built in 1971, and is of an unusual construction, having a curve, a camber and an incline built into it. It was opened in 1972.
On the northern side of the river there are signs of less peaceful times in the form of a Second World War pill box.
The cache is close to the main road so pleae take care with geokids and geohounds.
There is parking on the road next to the pub or if you want to stop a little longer in the pub car park.
