About Powick Bridge, Worcestershire
Powick Bridge was the site of a cavalry skirmish in September 1642, often considered the first action of the English Civil War, fought between Royalist and Parliamentarian forces near Worcester. The crossing was contested again in 1651 during the Battle of Worcester, the war's final major engagement. Its narrow span made it a strategic chokepoint for armies.
