Sharpness is an
English port in
Gloucestershire, one of the most inland in Britain, and eighth largest in the South West. It is on the
River Severn at , at a point where the tidal range, though less than at
Avonmouth downstream (14 m typical spring tide), is still large (10 m typical spring).The village of Sharpness is pronounced with the emphasis on the second syllable, Sharpness, as compared to the common noun, which has the emphasis on the first syllable.The
Gloucester & Sharpness Canal starts here, and the river used to be crossed here by the
Severn Railway Bridge - however, this was damaged beyond repair by a ship collision in
1960. (Proposals to reinstate a river-crossing at this point are frequently made especially by the local authorities in
Lydney, which lies almost opposite Sharpness).
