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.
