Viewed from Castle Walk in High Town, Bridgnorth.
There was a bridge here as early as the 10th century. The later stone bridge had several houses on it including a church, and a gatehouse that had a portcullis and also served as a gaol. Shortly before Thomas Telford widened the bridge in 1822-23, these buildings were removed.
The River Severn

The River Severn is the longest river in Britain, at about 354 kilometres (220 miles). Its source is on Plynlimon near Llanidloes, Powys, in the Cambrian Mountains. It then flows through Shropshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire. The Severn is the greatest river in terms of water flow in England and Wales.
