Shrewsbury

The Severn at Shrewsbury

The River Severn dominates the town of Shrewsbury. Although this painting portrays calmness and tranquillity , when the river is in full flood after prolonged rain storms ,it is quite a different picture ! This poster , although actually issued in 1948 was most probably painted much earlier as in the early years of British Railways there was little money around for new commissions.
