Bridgnorth / Royaume-Uni

Bridgnorth est une ville du Shropshire en Angleterre, dans la vallée de la Severn. La ville est divisée en deux parties, la ville basse et la ville haute, nommées ainsi du fait de leur position par rapport au fleuve Severn qui sépare la ville haute sur la rive droite de la ville basse sur la rive gauche. Bridgnorth est nommée ainsi du fait d'un pont construit sur le fleuve Severn plus au nord qu'un pont plus ancien à Quatford. C'est le chef-lieu et la ville la plus peuplée du district de Bridgnorth. D'après le recensement de 2001 la population est de 11 891 habitants mais une estimation plus récente la porte à 12 216 habitants.
