Description: | A view of Bridgnorth in Shropshire, showing barrels and crates being loaded onto barges by the bridge. A hill town, Bridgnorth was built on a high sandstone ridge rising from the bank of the River Severn. The town prospered during the 18th century because of its cap and hat-making industry and river trade. The bridge in the picture was replaced in 1823. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Ogbourne | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
