Taken from close to the bridge on Smithfield Road, looking north-west. At http://www.photosofshropshire.co.uk/ViewImage.aspx?ImageID=358 you can see this location on the Severn River in full flood in February 1946, taken from almost the same camera position. Although some of the buildings in the background have changed slightly, there is no mistaking their principal features.
