There are two bridges in Atcham, side by side - which seems slightly unnecessary, but when it seemed the old bridge was going to be replaced, it was given a heritage listing, so it couldn't just be demolished.
So, right alongside it, Shropshre County Council built a new bridge - which is what you see
in the photo. It crosses the Rivern Severn, and carries the main road through the village.
It was opened in 1929 by the rather famous politician & writer Herbert Morrison, who was the transport minister at the time.
The involvement of the county council explains the loggerheads' presence.
