Still a working river
The River was once the busiest commercial river in England; today it's mainly leisure cruising on the river. Here are two gravel barges passing Upton upon Severn collecting gravel from a Cemex quarry about one mile upstream. Upton bridge is casting a shadow over the laden barge in the foreground; the other in the background is unladen. SO8540 : Gravel barge at Upton upon Severn
