Magor-Chepstow 300424 122335 2
Photos during a walk from Severn Tunnel Junction station to Chepstow on 30 April 2024.
This is the newest (1996) crossing of the Severn Estuary linking Wales with England, on the far bank.
The first crossing was completed in 1879, a rail bridge between Lydney and Sharpness (both in Gloucestershire, England), but this was demolished in 1967 after severe damage in 1960.
The second crossing was the Severn Tunnel of 1886, whilst the third was the road suspension of 1966.
The bridge shown was named the Prince of Wales Bridge in 2018, a calculated insult to those in Wales who object to rule by the English. The so-called Prince of Wales is English!
