Bridgnorth
Bridgnorth is a town within the English county of Shropshire. Resting on the Severn Valley, it is split into High Town and Low Town. Their names refer to their respective heights relative to the River Severn, which divides the upper town on the right bank from the less elevated one to the left. As recorded in the 2011 Census, the resident population of Bridgnorth is around 12,079, which has increased slightly from the about 11,900 measured during the time of the 2001 Census. Bridgnorth boasts an incline railway, the Castle Hill Railway, which offers transport amongst the high and low towns. This is the steepest and only inland railway of its type in the United Kingdom. Along with this, is the Bridgnorth Railway Station, located inside the High Town on the Severn Valley Railway, which runs southwards to Kidderminster. The ruins of Bridgnorth Castle, constructed in 1101, have to this day, not been found in the town. Because of damage sustained throughout the English Civil War, the castle is said to be on an incline of 15 degrees. High Town is dominated by two Church of England churches. St. Mary's Church, a church designed and constructed in the classic style of the late 18th century by Thomas Telford, is still used for worship. St. Leonard's was previously collegiate, and Bridgnorth was Royal Peculiar till 1856. It was subsequently reconstructed, however it is no longer used for normal worship. It still has numerous community uses in the local area and it is looked after by the Churches Conservation Trust. There are many sports opportunities for those living in Bridgnorth, and it is recognised in Shropshire for having the most successful table tennis club in the county.
