A bridge built in 1825 by J.S.Padley, the county surveyor, from brick and stone. It is a double carriageway, single span bridge with a brick parapet with stone coping. The parapets sweep round in a curve, terminating in a stone capped brick pier at either end. The bridge was by-passed by the A158 in 1969, when the road was re-routed to the south, and the bridge is now on a minor road, but still carries traffic. Clay Bridge features some curious and distinctive ornamental stone carving on its arches. This carving is similar to that on White Bridge, immediately to the west, but appears to be otherwise unique in this context.
