Dist:0.1km<br/>The houses at New Passage appear to be well protected from the threat of an angry river Severn. Rock armour is the lowest defence - boulders placed by the shoreline which will allow water to percolate through whilst, hopefully, preventing erosion of beach material. Above the path is a concrete revetment topped by a re-curved sea wall.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The Pill heading for the Severn at high tide. The photograph is taken from the sluice gate which controls the water flowing back inland at high tide. The river level behind the sluice gate was much lower than on this side.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Between 1863 and 1886 anyone wanting to cross the Severn by rail would pass here - the terminal pier. The pier ceased to be used, and the railway re-routed, when the rail tunnel opened in 1886.
