Venue: Bridgnorth
It has been long time since we planned to visit Lawrence & Mary in
Bridgenorth. Seems that it will be the last chance if we do not visit
them before we go back to Malaysia.
I heard from Nelson, brothers & sisters in BCEC that their house
is super big and cozzy. Well, what i can say is, THEY ARE RIGHT!!!
It's indeed a massive mansion.......
Lawrence & Mary brought us to a Thai restaurant for lunch. The food
are really nice. If you visit Bridgenorth, why not dine in this restaurant
if you fancy Thai food?

After lunch, they brought us to Ironbridge.
The world's first cast iron bridge was built over the River Severn at
Coalbrookdale in 1779. Not only iron founders and industrial spies
flocked to see this wondrous bridge, but also artists and travellers.
The Bridge had a far reaching impact: on local society and the economy,
on bridge design and on the use of cast iron in building. The story of the
bridge's conservation begins in 1784 with reports of cracks in the Southern
abutments, and is brought up to date with the English Heritage sponsored
work of 1999.

I saw the shop which sell soft toys at Bridgnorth High Town.
After visited Iron Bridge, Lawrence brought us to another exciting site,
which is the Severn Valley Railway. Wow.... it was the first time i saw a
steam-hauled train.

Next, we went to Bridgnorth Castle. The tower is actually leaning
at the angle of 15 degree. It happened due to the attempt to blow
it up during the Civil War. For more info, please visit
We also saw the Cliff Railway which transport the people from high town
to low town and River Severn and vice versa. For more info, please visit.

After about 2 hours walk around the Bridgnorth high town
and low town, we were served with mouth-watering chinese
cuisine prepared by Mary.
