For our contribution on the first Monday of the month to Broer som Binder [Bridges between], we are back by the river Etherow at Broadbottom.
The old stone bridge was built in 1683.
The metal bridge alongside for walkers, cyclists and horse-riders is about 300 years younger.
It was from the footbridge that I took my photograph of the border post, actually a support in the middle of the river holding up the railway viaduct.
More details of and links to other participants to Broer som Binder can be found on Visual Norway.

I like the picture a lot, and this was really nice bridges :-))
Nice bidge walking/watch for you.
A nice old stonebridge, thank you very much! I like these kind of bridges very much!
Two bridges side-by side, but three hundred years apart. That gives some food for thought.
PS Thank you for the comment - finally back from an autumn holiday.
This is very interesting. Most places provided for a place for pedestrians MUCH, MUCH later. These nice folks did way back then.
Thanks for sharing. You gave me an idea for another Bridge post :-) So if you don't mind I have to "copy" you some monday in the future :-)
Hi Gerald re your query about the Severn. My photo was taken in Worcester, which isn't a million miles from Shrewsbury. As Babooshka said, the river runs quite a distance from around Birmingham to the Welsh border.
Beautiful view from your double bridges! Our city wants to build a new bridge and it might be separate for pedestrians.
Drop by and see what bridge I wrote about.
