English Bridge, Stone road bridge in Shrewsbury, England
The English Bridge extends across the River Severn with seven arches spanning a total length of 400 feet and a width of 50 feet.
Originally constructed in 1774 by John Gwynn, the bridge underwent reconstruction in 1926 while preserving and reusing the original numbered stones from the previous structure.
The English Bridge represents a significant example of Georgian engineering and maintains its Grade II* listed status, reflecting its architectural importance in British heritage.
The bridge serves as a primary crossing point over the River Severn, connecting the town center of Shrewsbury with the eastern districts for vehicles and pedestrians.
Each stone from the 1774 structure was carefully numbered and repositioned during the 1926 reconstruction, maintaining the bridge's historical authenticity while adapting to modern needs.
