Bewdley, UK
My business partner, Derry, lives in the beautiful town of Bewdley in Worcestershire County, UK. It’s such a pretty town that it’s often referred to as “the perfect small Georgian town.” Running through it is the River Severn.
As you can see, it makes for lovely areas for people to stroll, sit and have a drink, or just relax in silence or with good conversation. When the weather is right, the area is incredibly serene. I was drinking in the calm.
This is “Thomas Telford’s Bridge” built in 1798.
As the evening went on, quite a bit more people were gathered than what shows above.
Going over the bridge takes you onto this road called Load Street. Way in the back you can see St. Anne’s Church which is over 250 years old. Apparently there are records of a church on the same site going back to the mid-1400s.

Loved your image of the Telford Bridge. You do such a wonderful job with images but I am partial to bridges. They are so inspiring.

Thanks Marti. Yes, inspiring — that whole crossing over type thing, symbolic in many ways.
