EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, EAW038126 from the Historic England Archive, offers a glimpse into the past of Sharpness, Gloucestershire. Taken in July 1951 from an aerial perspective, the image showcases the Severn Railway Bridge, a structural marvel built in the 1870s. The bridge played a pivotal role in transporting coal from the Forest of Dean to Sharpness Docks, making it an essential part of the region's industrial history. In the foreground, the tranquil Gloucester-Sharpness canal cuts through the landscape, its swing-bridge crossed by a solitary vessel. The canal, built in 1827, was an integral part of the transportation network, connecting the River Severn to the Thames and Severn Waterway. The Severn Railway Bridge, with its imposing presence, stands tall against the backdrop of the River Severn. Its elegant design, a testament to the engineering prowess of the time, spans the river with grace and resilience. However, the bridge's tenure was not without incident. It was frequently damaged due to collisions with vessels on the river, ultimately leading to its demolition in the 1960s. This photograph, taken just before its demise, captures the bridge in all its glory, providing a poignant reminder of the past and the role it played in shaping the industrial landscape of Sharpness and Gloucestershire.
