Bewdley is a tiny riverside town as well as civil parish in the Wyre Forest District of Worcestershire on the Shropshire boundary in England, along the Severn Valley 3 miles (4.8 kilometres) west of Kidderminster and 22 miles (35 km) southwest of Birmingham. [1] It rests on the River Severn, at the portal of the Wyre Forest national nature reserve, and at the time of the 2011 census had a population of 9,470. Bewdley is a preferred tourist location as well as is known for the Bewdley Bridge created by Thomas Telford. The almost all of Bewdley community is located on the western bank of the River Severn, consisting of the primary street– Load Street– whose name originates from lode, an old word for ferry. Load Street is notable for its size: this is because it as soon as also functioned as the community’s market location. A lot of Bewdley’s stores as well as features are located along Load Street, at the top of which exists St Anne’s Church, developed in between 1745 as well as 1748 by Doctor Thomas Woodward of Chipping Campden. Beyond the church, High Street leads off to the south in the direction of Stourport along the B4194, a roadway understood locally as “the switchback” as a result of its lots of undulations. Unlike in many English towns, High Street is so called not due to its importance, yet as a result of its geographical setting ‘high’ above the river. On the other side of the church, Welch Gate (so called due to the fact that it as soon as had a tollgate when driving towards Wales) climbs steeply as much as the west, while Dowles Road, a continuation of the B4194 leads northwest to Dowles and in the direction of 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 location between Stourport and also Bewdley there are numerous big country houses, among which Witley Court, Astley Hall as well as Pool House are specifically significant.
