taken 36 years ago, near to Maisemore, Gloucestershire, England
Over and on Severn at Over - Gloucester, Gloucestershire
Riders on the Severn Bore, the regularly occurring tidal wave which sweeps up the River Severn. It does lose some of its force at Lower Parting
SO8118 where the Severn splits into two. The height of the wave depends on the amount of water in the estuary. My first view of the Bore was at Elmore
SO7915 some years ago - it passed and I suddenly found my feet and the field disappearing under water. Here they are passing under the railway bridge (Cardiff to Nottingham line) at Over - some call it Oover. Time photo taken not available.
