True Love

Over the past couple of months these padlocks have been appearing on the railings of the footbridge (Sabrina Bridge) over the River Severn Worcester. They are engraved with touching messages and declarations of eternal love by couples and families in Worcester. Apparently sweethearts have been inspired by the Pont des Arts, known as Lover’s Bridge, over the river Seine in Paris. There are about 30 padlocks at the moment. Let us hope that all the weight of love in Worcester doesn't create structural problems to the bridge in the future.
