Two historic bridges cross the River Teme at Ludlow — Ludford Bridge ( a Scheduled Ancient Monument ) and Dinham Bridge ( early 19th century , Grade II listed ) — both of which still take vehicular traffic as no modern bridges have been built over the Teme in the area . To the north of the town centre , the historic Corve Bridge crosses the River Corve , and this bridge was relieved by Burway Bridge in the mid-20th century . However , on 26 June 2007 , dramatic flooding on the Corve caused the Burway Bridge to collapse , severing a gas main and causing 20 homes in nearby Corve Street to be evacuated . The old stone bridge has now been replaced with a modern steel and pre-fabricated concrete construction
