Essex Bridge, located near Great Haywood, Staffordshire, is a historic structure deeply ingrained in England's architectural and cultural heritage.
This Grade I listed packhorse bridge crosses the River Trent 100 meters downstream from where it meets the River Sow. It is the least altered and longest packhorse bridge in the country and is still used today.
