Hi Viv, your post #32 made me wonder if the indentations in the bridge were merely following the design of earlier bridges in the area. When the Bridge Trust was set up (1600's? - I think by Nicholas Hodgetts but willing to be corrected) all the bridges were narrow and had them. The one at Perry Barr, opposite Wickes, is still there.
Handsworth Grammar school badge appears to show the same shapes and the funding for this came from the Bridge Trust didn't it?
