Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The River Severn starts its journey on the slopes of Plynlimon, winding past Welshpool, Shrewsbury and Ironbridge before reaching Bridgnorth, Stourport, Worcester and Gloucester. It was a principal trade route in the Middle Ages and, after the great expansion of the coal trade, became the second busiest river in Europe by the 17th century.
Includes bibliography and index.
A study of old Severnside bringing to life those busier days with old photographs and prints, illustrating life on this ancient waterway from Shrewsbury to Gloucester.
