Description: | Newnham is thought to have been initially settled because of its proximity to a fording place of the River Severn used by the Romans. In the early 19th century an attempt to create a tunnel under the river from Newnham to Arlingham was abandoned as were later schemes for a bridge. The Passage Ferry ran regularly between the two settlements until after WWII, launching close to the outcrop to the right of this image known as 'The Nab'. | Subjects: | Aerial View Villagescape | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | Wingham, H A | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
