Trimpley Lane, Wribbenhall, Bewdley The start of Trimpley Lane photographed from its junction with Habberley Road. The part of Bewdley on the east side of the River Severn is usually known as Wribbenhall. This particular part is or was known as Catchems End, although that name seems to be falling into disuse. On the left is a warning sign against using Trimpley Lane as a route into Bewdley's town centre. However, anyone ignoring this would still have to rejoin the main road to cross the River Severn by Bewdley Bridge.

Trimpley Village Hall (1), Trimpley, Worcs The village hall is hidden away along a narrow lane, although there is now a signpost where the lane turns off from the road to Trimpley Reservoir. The hall has its origins in a hut which was provided by Mr & Mrs Joseph Howard in 1927. The plot of land it was on was part of the Holbeache Estate. It was intended to be used for village meetings and social events. In 1946 Mr & Mrs Howard gave the hut, its ground and a further area for car parking to the village. A committee was set up and this became a registered charity in 1963. Over the years the building has been much extended and improved. It can accommodate up to one hundred people.
