More about this scene
In celebration of the new crossing that carried the railway over the river, the 18th-century sandstone inn we see here was renamed The Severn Bridge Hotel in 1879. Other names in Blakeney refer to iron making, which was a thriving industry in these parts. Furnace Bottom is one example, while Pig Street is so named because pig iron was transported that way to the Severn Railway Bridge, and then by rail to Gatcombe, Bristol and beyond.
