St George's Bridge, Medieval stone bridge in Shrewsbury, England

The bridge extended over the River Severn with six large stone arches connecting the Frankwell suburb to the central district of Shrewsbury through Mardol.

Built around 1262, this structure stood as a primary crossing point over the River Severn until its demolition in 1795 to make way for the Welsh Bridge.

The bridge contained multiple shops and featured a statue of Richard Plantagenet on one of its towers until 1791.

The bridge location served as a strategic connection point between Wales and England, facilitating trade and movement between the two regions.

The remains of one dry arch from the original structure survive within the foundations of the Theatre Severn following excavations in the late 2000s.
