Crewgreen Severn Bridge Former Railway Bridge: Frontier Wales England

Crew Green (England) / Melverley (Wales) bridge very strange looking single lane bridge until I learnt that it was formerly a railway bridge. No footpath so watch out if a tractor or lorry crosses. The bridge is also the England/ Wales frontier though I think no sign announces it. The River Vyrnwy joins the Severn near this bridge. Weshpool & Shrewsbury are the nearest towns. The Severn Walk is indicated by a signpost here.
