Interesting, I can’t find it marked on any digital maps,
but it’s very definitely a pub, that building I marked,
it’s worth noting there's a pub there because it’s a great reward to sneak a pint in after doing the Walsall flight,

There is just the bridge that leads into New Rd, by the Cricket Club, in the town, or the newer bridge on the southern by-pass, downstream, that leads over towards Powick.
My son pointed out that the last time it flooded it was much deeper. New Rd was totally underwater and the Army provided trucks to ferry people across between St Johns and the city. That situation is still used as one of the reasons to reopen/rebuild St Johns station.New Road has been raised by a foot (300mm) since the flood when the army moved in
Powick roundabout still floods and took 3 hours to travel from Malvern.

some more images of the bridge
not sure why a man is up a ladder in the one picture
The balustrade was rescued by Edward Elgar and when his house was demolished my dad rescued it from being scrapped and still stands
in my brothers garden across a fish pond
