About

Bridgnorth East sits on the eastern side of Bridgnorth town, where a sandstone ridge drops down to the River Severn. The High Town area in this sector is built around a narrow High Street and a castle mound that dates back to the medieval period. A cliff railway links the ridge top with the Low Town by the river, running alongside the rock face and stair flights that run the same gradient. St Mary Magdalene's church tower and the exposed sandstone face are regular points of reference for orientation.

Local services and shops are concentrated along the High Street and Market Square, with residential streets fanning out toward the ridge and the outskirts. The riverbank below provides moorings, towpaths and views upstream and downstream, while small green spaces and churchyards sit within the built area. Road connections lead to the surrounding Shropshire lanes, and the pattern of streets reflects the long history of settlement on the cliff and in the riverside plain.
