Commit no nuisance

Commit no nuisance
This week The Sunday Challenge is: WORDS

This 'command' is to be found on the parapet of the Welsh Bridge over the river Severn. On the Mardol side of the bridge, on the junction with Victoria Avenue, one of the parapets of the bridge has the words "Commit No Nuisance" chiselled into the stone. This is an archaic injunction not to urinate in public. The Welsh Bridge is a grade II listed structure.

The Welsh Bridge is constructed of stone & has five arches, each has a span of over 40 feet, & 1 x 10 feet wide pedestrian arch on the north side of the Bridge. The viaduct bridge crosses the River Severn, & connects Frankwell area, with Mardol Quay & the historic town centre.

Theatre Severn.  The Welsh Bridge.

An interesting inscription, it reminded me of the Google motto (I believe now abandoned) "Don't be evil". :-)
