The English Bridge in Shrewsbury is a masonry arch viaduct, crossing the River Severn in Shrewsbury, Shropshire. The present bridge is a 1926 rebuilding and widening (re-using the original masonry) of John Gwynn's design, completed in 1774. It cost £86,000 and was formally opened on 26 October 1927 by Queen Mary, although it had been completed the previous year. Ward's bridge reused the old masonry, each stone carefully numbered, as well as a quantity of new stonework.

It is one of 9 bridges crossing the river. The Severn had burst its banks that day, and we had to climb over a locked gate to use the upper pathway. The church is Shrewsbury United Reform Church,
