About Bridgnorth - show infohide info

Bridgnorth is a town in the county of Shropshire, England. Its is named in two parts; Low Town and High Town, relative to its elevation to the River Severn. When visiting Bridgnorth in 1642, King Charles I was said to have commented that the view is “the finest in my domain". Bridgnorth’s Low Town is home to the town’s rail connections. The Severn Valley Railway runs southwards to Kidderminster. Low Town is connected to the High Town by the steepest inland cliff railway in Britain, the Castle Hill Railway. High Town itself can boast Bridgnorth Castle, St Mary’s Church (designed by Thomas Telford) and a 17th century Town Hall. The town gate also survives, and an old watermill, Daniel’s Mill, still stands. Bridgnorth Castle was first constructed in 1190 by Robert de Belleme (later Earl of Shrewsbury), and has since been besieged four times. The last attempt to take the castle was in 1646 during the English Civil War when Bridgnorth was a Royalists stronghold. Panpudding Hill, opposite the castle, was used to bombard the castle, and the Roundheads tunneled beneath the castle to plant explosives into the cliff. This caused the Royalists to surrender Bridgnorth Castle, and it was temporarily saved. In 1647 however, the Roundheads blew up the castle in case the Royalists once again regained the town. All that is left of Bridgnorth Castle now is part of the tower which leans at an angle greater than the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Much of Bridgnorth town was set alight during the siege, and consequently there are no records of the castles original layout or appearance. The street plans however, have altered little since the 12th century. On August 21, 2003, Bridgnorth was granted Fairtrade Town status In 2005, German papers from 1941 were discovered outlining a possible Nazi invasion of the United Kingdom, with great detail relating to Ludlow and Bridgnorth. It is believed by some experts to indicate that Hitler was to make Bridgnorth his HQ, as it is central, rural, and has an airfield. Bridgnorth can boast 27 pubs, which may in some way explain the popularity of the Bridgnorth Folk Festival, which will belong to Shrewsbury in 2006.
