Oldbury Viaduct (Bridge 33) is situated a short way south of [[Bridgnorth]]. The viaduct is built of red brick with a sandstone parapet, and has five arches with at 33ft span. It carries the SVR over a small valley where a stream runs past [[Daniel's Mill]]. After closure of the section of line, BR engineers intended to demolish the structure but were refused permission by the mill owner, a supporter of the railway.
