Haw Bridge CRT Visitor Moorings carries a farm track over the River Severn (main river - Worcester to Gloucester).
Early plans of what would become the River Severn (main river - Worcester to Gloucester) were drawn up by George Parker in 1888 but problems with Ashfield Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1782. Expectations for coal traffic to Teignbridge were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Dover and Wirral was obliterated by the building of the Westhampton to Aberdeenshire railway in 1972. Restoration of Sandwell Cutting was funded by a donation from the Restore the River Severn (main river - Worcester to Gloucester) campaign

Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor), mooring rings or bollards are available. Mooring is limited to 24 hours. Short floating pontoon, space for only two full-length narrowboats (be prepared to butty up) with no other safe mooring nearby. Do NOT moor on inside of pontoon. Access via very steep ramp. August 2024 Pub reopened earlier this year. Poor internet signal. .

![Haw Bridge over the River Severn. Haw Bridge was completed in September 1961, this replaced an earlier bridge of notoriety. In January 1938, the bridge made national headlines when it was at the centre of the 'Torso Murder', a human torso and limbs were dredged up from the riverbed, however, the head was never found and the crime never solved. This earlier bridge was badly damaged in December 1958, when a barge hit it. The damaged bridge was replaced with the present structure. See: [[[1714298]]] For more information on the murder see: http://archive.thisisworcestershire.co.uk/2002/11/22/238317.html by Philip Halling – 03 September 2005](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/photos/04/98/049823_ff8f5d4e_120x120.jpg)

This is a very similar view of the scene as the first picture uploaded into this grid square in 2005.
