History

The Valley Hotel, originally called Severn House, dates back to 1757 when it was built as a private dwelling. The Iron Bridge was then built in 1779.

The house was bought by the prolific inventor and electrical engineer Thomas Parker or "the Edison of Europe" in 1907.

In 1939 Severn House was converted into a hotel by Wrekin Brewery. Having remained a hotel since this point, Severn House is full of vibrancy, history and wonderful views - it is no wonder the property has become a firm favourite for couples to say their vows.
