Bewdley
Bewdley is a small waterfront community and civil parish in the Wyre Forest District of Worcestershire on the Shropshire border in England, along the Severn Valley 3 miles (4.8 kilometres) west of Kidderminster and also 22 miles (35 kilometres) southwest of Birmingham. [1] It pushes the River Severn, at the entrance of the Wyre Forest national nature reserve, and at the time of the 2011 census had a population of 9,470. Bewdley is a prominent visitor destination and is recognized for the Bewdley Bridge developed by Thomas Telford. The main part of Bewdley community is positioned on the western bank of the River Severn, consisting of the primary street-- Load Street-- whose name stems from lode, an old word for ferry. Load Street is noteworthy for its size: this is due to the fact that it when also functioned as the town's market area. The majority of Bewdley's shops and also facilities are situated along Load Street, on top of which lies St Anne's Church, developed in between 1745 and also 1748 by Doctor Thomas Woodward of Chipping Campden. Beyond the church, High Street leads off to the south towards Stourport along the B4194, a roadway known locally as "the switchback" because of its lots of undulations. Unlike in many English communities, High Street is so called not due to its significance, however as a result of its geographical position 'high' above the river. Beyond of the church, Welch Gate (so called because it once had a tollgate when traveling in the direction of Wales) climbs up steeply approximately the west, while Dowles Road, an extension of the B4194 leads northwest to Dowles and also towards the Wyre Forest. To the northeast of the community is the wooded hilltop of Wassel Wood in Trimpley, the southern terminus of Shatterford Hill. In the area between Stourport and also Bewdley there are several large country houses, among which Witley Court, Astley Hall and Swimming pool Home are specifically substantial.
