The Severn Estuary's Aust Ferry remembered 50 years on

Fifty years after its closure, the Aust Ferry is remembered in a special film to be broadcast on BBC One.

The ferry was once the only way to cross the Severn Estuary by car - so avoiding a two-and-a-half hour detour by road.

During its lifetime it carried some 500,000 vehicles across the estuary for the princely sum of 30 to 63 pence.

The service ended in 1966 - the day before the Severn Bridge was opened.

The programme will be broadcast on Inside Out West on Monday 10 October at 19:30 BST
