The old bridge at Atcham, built 1769-71, to carry traffic on Telford’s improved Holyhead Road over the Severn a couple of miles downstream from Shrewsbury. Now an ancient monument which carries a footpath while the road traffic thunders across the new (in 1929) bridge nearby.
All along the stonework of the bridge, there’s a fine crop of lichens. Also included in the set are a couple of shots of the bridge itself, and the view south from the bridge, over the river and towards the Uriconian hills in the distance.
