At Maisemore, above Gloucester. Prior to demolition of the old bridge over the River Severn and the construction of the new one, a temporary timber bridge was built in 1939, but after the old bridge had been demolished, construction of the new one had to be postponed due to the outbreak of war and it was not completed until 1956 when the temporary bridge was demolished as seen in the photograph – 1939   [ fwr0103 ]   view

This is a panel on the monument which stands beside Maisemore Bridge over the River Severn above Gloucester. The inscription commemorates an early bridge built here in about the year 1230 by a certain William Fitz Anktil and please refer to slide 110 for further details   [ fwr0109 ]   view
The first known successful bridge at Maisemore over the River Severn above Gloucester was built in the year 1230 or thereabout and is attributed to a certain William Fitz Anktil. It bore a stone cross and dedicatory inscription and lasted over 400 years until it was destroyed as an act of military strategy by the royalist troops under Colonel Ney in 1643 in connection with the siege of Gloucester in the Civil War. The cross and inscription were called to mind when the 1956 bridge was completed, at which time St. Michael’s Church on the Gloucester Cross was being demolished except for the tower. A fine stone finial cross together with the apex of the gable over the sanctuary roof were acquired from the church and erected on a new plinth beside Maisemore Bridge with a panel bearing the inscription from the original Fitz Anktil’s Bridge   [ fwr0110 ]   view
In May 1941 a film was being made to illustrate the functions of that great insurance company Lloyds of London. To illustrate their association with major civil engineering works, they used a location beside the River Severn at Rodley, Gloucestershire, to simulate the preliminary setting out of a new railway bridge for the Australian railways at a supposed site called Kootaboola (?). On Sunday, 7 May 1961, they recruited riverboard men suitably costumed who acted the part of surveyors and so on in the film. No bridge was built here, of course, the constructional scenes were shot on the Runcorn Bridge in Cheshire which was then being built   [ fwr0111 ]   view

The River Severn seawall at Shepperdine, South Gloucestershire. In the 1940’s the whole of the foreshore was eroded exposing the toe of the masonry facing of the sea wall which had to be underpinned. Spartina Townsendii was planted in the mud along the frontage but it seems unlikely that this alone was responsible for the accretion of the large warthland which has since accumulated as seen in slide 115. That was in 1988   [ fwr0116 ]   view

The deck of the First Severn Bridge (crossing the River Severn between Aust and Beachley, Gloucestershire) consists of 88 sections, all built by the nearby River Wye into which they were launched and than towed around to the Severn Bridge to be hoisted into position as shown in this picture and then joined together to form a continuous deck. They weighed 127 tons each   [ fwr0133 ]   view
The vessel especially built to tow the 88 deck sections of the First Severn Bridge (crossing the River Severn between Aust and Beachley, Gloucestershire) from their building yard on the River Wye had a powerful outboard engine at each of its four corners to give maximum manoeuvrability   [ fwr0134 ]   view

The final stage of the making of the great cables of the First Severn Bridge (crossing the River Severn between Aust and Beachley, Gloucestershire) was to bind them with galvanised wire. This was done with a most ingenious machine which travelled along on the cable, binding as it goes. This finished length of cable leads down from the top of the tower to the anchorage. One of the hangers that supports the deck or roadway is attached to it   [ fwr0138 ]   view
These are some of the clamps that are fitted at intervals round the finished cables of the First Severn Bridge (crossing the River Severn between Aust and Beachley, Gloucestershire); to them are bolted the hangers, or wire cables, to the lower end of which the deck or roadway is attached, thus suspended   [ fwr0139 ]   view
This is the travelling wheel which crossed to and fro across the length of the First Severn Bridge (crossing the River Severn between Aust and Beachley, Gloucestershire) from one anchorage to the other, drawing out and laying down strands of wire which built up the great cables, each of which is 20 in diameter and consists of 8,222 strands, every one of which is given an equal tension   [ fwr0140 ]   view

Ironbridge (Shropshire) The world’s first iron bridge. It spans the Severn and has given its name to the local township and gorge. It was built on the site of an existing ferry by a local landmaster, Abraham Derby III, to the design of Thomas Farnells Pritchard and completed in 1779. The cast iron components were connected w1ith carpenter joints, dovetails, tenons and mortices, and wedges, which was just as well, because within a few years of completion, the instability and closing-in of the sides of the gorge led to distortions of the arch which, being of cast iron, would have cracked had there not been a certain slackness in the joints. The bridge does not have the form necessary to resist the inward movement of the abutments. The bridge is such a mass of iron that originally two lightning conductors were installed. Ignoring the subsequent distortions, the dimensions of the bridge were 100′ 6 wide, 40 ft above the normal water level and carrying a road 24ft wide. At first it was a toll bridge   [ fwr0206 ]   view

Alternative suggestions for a bridge (crossing the River Severn between Aust and Beachley, Gloucestershire) by Thomas Fulljames, the County Surveyor of Gloucestershire in the mid 19th century.

The head waters of the Severn are in the mountainous northern half of Wales but the same high mountains which induce a annual rain fall of 60 or 70 a year also provide deep valleys, several of which have been adapted to store the rainfall for the use of remote townships. An early example was the building in 1892 of this dam across the valley of the River Vyrnwy in Powys, a head water tributary of the Severn, to supply the City of Liverpool, 70 miles away. It forms a reservoir storing 12,000 million gallons and is 160 ft high; it’s a solid masonry construction and 1,172 ft long. Beneath the waters of Lake Vyrnwy lie the remains of the village of Llanwddyn   [ fwr0382 ]   view

This is the Clywedog Dam, near Llanidloes in Powys, built across the valley of the Severn’s first tributary of any consequence. Both in design and function, it is totally different from any of the other large dams in the region. It is hollow and has the internal acoustics of a large cathedral, though quite deafening when the sluices are open. The lake or llyn which it created is a balancing reservoir; its function is to store water in the wet season which provides a measure of local flood relief, but primarily to release water when the natural flow of the Severn is low and inadequate for the various abstracting authorities downstream. They are 12 such authorities abstracting directly from the Severn along its length. They range from the Montgomery Share Water board near the source down to the Bristol Waterways Company which abstracts at Gloucester into the Gloucester & Sharpness Canal on its way to Bristol. The dam generates a certain amount of electricity for its own operation and feeds some into the Public Supply Grid, for this, of course, is not its primary function   [ fwr0397 ]   view
Construction of the Clywedog Dam, Powys, in progress in 1965 following the making of access roads to the site which had commenced in November 1963. Preliminary work on the dam itself started on 1st April 1964 and the first concrete was poured early in 1965. The finished dam is 237 ft high and at the time was the highest masonry dam in Britain, perhaps it still is. The term masonry in this context of course includes concrete – 1965   [ fwr0398 ]   view

On the porch of the Church St Mary the Virgin at Shrewsbury, Shropshire, is this poignant memorial to one Robert Cadman who toured the country performing outdoors on a rope. On 2nd February 1739 while doing his act on a rope attached to the tower of this church and extending across the Severn, the rope broke and he was killed. It seems he had fixed the rope the previous day and it had got wet and, consequently, had shrunk until it was stretched too tight, added to which it had frozen and it was so brittle as to break when he performed on it   [ fwr0412 ]   view
