ST5394 : The Severn Princess

taken 15 years ago, near to Tutshill, Gloucestershire, England

The Severn Princess
The Severn Princess
Old Passage Ferry Company was reinstated in the nineteen twenties by Enoch Williams who ran the company until its closure on the day that the Severn Bridge opened in September 1966. There were three ferry boats in the sixties, the Severn King, Severn Queen and Severn Princess who was a fairly new boat at that time.

The King and Queen were both eventually scrapped but the Severn Princess is once again in Chepstow where there are plans to restore her into a museum.
