SPANNING the River Severn and linking Chepstow and Gloucestershire, the Severn Bridge is an impressive structure. This feat of engineering carries the M4 motorway and once housed a number of toll booths until 2019. Our archive photographs show various aspects of the bridge over the years and we hope this bring back happy memories.
