Worcester Bridge

Worcester Bridge is a bridge over the River Severn, built between 1771 and 1780, designed by architect John Gwynn of Shrewsbury. The bridge was widened in 1931, and its elevations were modernized at that time. It is constructed of stone and features five elliptical bays, with balustrades and renewed lamp standards. The soffits of the arches are from the 18th century, while the elevations are from 1931. This bridge is a significant landmark and, along with a group of former warehouses including Gascoyne House, Brown's Restaurant, and Band House on South Quay, as well as St Andrew's Church Tower on Deansway, contributes to the visual framework for the Cathedral when viewed from the river.
