Kidderminster Station - The Kidderminster end of the Severn Valley Railway.
Northgate Museum - The museum is run and managed by volunteers from the Bridgnorth and District Historical Society, which founded the museum in 1951. Amongst other items it houses maps, paintings, archaeological finds, and coins dating from the Roman occupation right through to a Royal Mint Collection of Pre-decimal Coins (minted 1970).
High Street, Bridgnorth - The Town Hall and Market Hall are in the centre of the picture.
Town Hall and Market Hall - The building was constructed in 1652 from a redundant tithe barn donated by a Lady Bertie from the town of Much Wenlock. The space underneath is still used as a market on Fridays and Saturdays.
Costa Coffee - I don't know what this building was used for, but it now houses a branch of Costa Coffee.
Stoneway Steps - A few yards from the funicular railway are the Stoneway Steps, 137 steps that lead down from Castle Terrace to Low Town. The steps have iron edges to them, this helped to keep the steps intact when used by horses to make deliveries.
