taken 2 years ago, near to Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England
Chain ferry winch, Shrewsbury
The ferry between the town centre and Frankwell was probably short-lived in the early 20th century, as its route is shown on the 1927 OS map but not on the 1902 or 1954 versions. See SJ4912 : Information board beside the River Severn in Shrewsbury for context.
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.
