This is now a pleasant small park area with fine views overlooking the River Severn. The friary was "dissolved" in 1538, and following various use of the buildings, they were demolished in 1856, then a subsequent carpet factory was demolished in 1988. The area is pleasantly grassed, with trees.See http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2270865 for more information. The sculpture is one of twelve forming a trail around the town, celebrating the 1808 Trevithick engine 'Catch Me Who Can'. https://www.shropshirestar.com/entertainment/bridgnorth-entertainment/2018/03/19/the-sculpture-now-arriving-at-bridgnorth---/ Image]
