Description
The Old Severn Bridge Hotel is an early 19th-century inn. It’s constructed of rough render with a welsh slate roof and has two brick stacks at the south end. The central block is accompanied by extensions on both sides; a single-storey extension to the north and a two-storey extension to the south.
The front of the building has two and a half storeys and cellars. It features three gabled dormers above three narrow 12-pane sashes and two wider 12-pane sashes. A central 6-panel door is set within a part-glazed, 20th-century projecting porch. To the left is an entrance to the cellar, with two small 20th-century casements flanking the ground-floor window on the left. The river front also has two and a half storeys, with three dormers above three 16-pane sashes and three 3-light sashes with a 4:12:4 pane layout. A pair of 20th-century glazed doors are located centrally. The hotel’s name comes from a former railway bridge that spanned the river to the south, which was finally demolished around 1970.
