River Perry The River Perry is a river in Shropshire. It rises near Oswestry and flows south to meet the River Severn above Shrewsbury, a distance of 24 miles. The channel has been heavily engineered, both to enable water mills to be powered by it, and to improve the drainage of the surrounding land.
