Description: | The bridge crosses the River Severn, which regularly floods parts of the centre of Shrewsbury. The bridge crosses the river to the North of the town centre. [The subject is probably a copy of the engraving of 1732 by Buck as it shows the medieval bridge with a big gate tower. This bridge was replaced between 1791-95 by Carline & Tilley. The church on the left is probably St. Mary's and the church on the right could be the Old St. Chad that collapsed in 1788.] | Subjects: | Rivers Sketch Spires Towers Bridges Religious buildings Steeples Priories Abbeys Church architecture | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Author/Creator: Dryden, Henry E L | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=3024... | Go to resource |
