The two bridges at Atcham

Two bridges span the Rive Severn here. The old bridge, built in 1774, and the new, lower bridge, which carries the old A5 across the river and was opened in 1929.
The old bridge is constructed of grey sandstone and has 7 round arches.

Thank you, Nick. I was glad to get out yesterday with a camera, to avoid the nail-biting match. It's pouring down here today, but we don't have the gale force winds.

Many thanks, Doug. I occasionally love the low light of winter, but not when it's drab and rainy like today.

The old bridge used to be the main road for traffic, John. It is now blocked off for all motorised vehicles.

The ellipses created by the arches and their reflection are very spectacular, Amelia. Cheers, Joe

Thank you, Joe. The old bridge is almost as pretty as the one in Dumbarton! ;-)
I used a slightly slower shutter speed here, which caused the foliage in the foreground to be a bit blurred.
Cheers, Amelia

The old bridge is much more attractive. Too bad they are only interested in utility when they build bridges like this today. excellent photo.
