Information About

English Bridge




Thomas Telford 's Holyhead Road , dating from 1815 and connecting London to the main sea-crossing to Ireland , used the English Bridge to cross the Severn here. The road's modern successor, the A5 , now bypasses Shrewsbury and the bridge's main role today is to connect the centre of Shrewsbury with the Belle Vue and Shrewsbury Abbey areas of the town.

The Gay Meadow football ground is nearby.
