Bridge 19 is an [[List_of_infrastructure#Types_of_bridge_and_crossing | accommodation underbridge]] allowing access from Severn Lodge Farm to the south end of a large field next to the River Severn. A public footpath also runs under the bridge via a stile. The photograph shows the view from the Severn Lodge side looking East, with the River Severn seen beneath the bridge and Bromley Farm on the opposite hilltop. [[Accommodation bridge north of milepost 142|Bridge 20]] allows access to the same field.
The bridge ==County Boundary==Bridge 19 is situated on close to the border between Worcestershire (Wyre Forest) and Shropshire, and the area is therefore also known as "County Boundary". Travelling north, it is the first bridge not to appear on the [[Wyre Forest District Council Local Heritage List]] and is therefore presumed to lie just . Examination of Ordnance Survey maps places it around 100 yards within Shropshire.
In [[Severn Valley Railway Timeline 2010-2019#2017|June 2017]] 'Worcestershire' and 'Shropshire' county boundary boards were erected by the SVR announced problems with an embankment slippage some years ago. The former is in approximately the correct position, but the latter was positioned north of Bridge 19 area, evidence of which had first been detected in 2016 as a series of track "twist" faultscreating an apparent 'no man's land' between the two boards. {{As of|2017|06}} the design for the remedial work required to stabilise the area This was complete and work had started done to prepare the site for the stabilisation schemeimprove visibility.<ref>SVRLive</ref><ref>Article in SVR News 198</ref>
