Ferry crossing River Severn Worcester stone plaque

This stone commemorative plaque records: A ferry has operated at this point on the river for many centuries, carrying passengers between the Cathedral Watergate and the Chapter Meadows on the opposite bank. It crossed every day until the late 1950's. The service was restarted in 1983. Running during summer weekend afternoons. The proceeds are given to local charities.

The ferry crossing the River Severn at Worcester has provided essential transport between the Cathedral Watergate and Chapter Meadows for centuries, serving as a vital link for both commerce and community until its temporary cessation in the late 1950s and subsequent revival in 1983. Today, it continues to offer a historical experience while supporting local charities through its operations.
