River Teme

The River Teme (pronounced ; (ウェールズ語:Afon Tefeidiad)) rises in Mid Wales, south of Newtown in Powys, and flows through Knighton where it crosses the border into England down to Ludlow in Shropshire, then to the north of Tenbury Wells on the Shropshire/Worcestershire border there, on its way to join the River Severn south of Worcester. The whole of the River Teme was designated as an SSSI, by English Nature, in 1996.
The river is crossed by a number of historic bridges including one at Tenbury Wells that was rebuilt by Thomas Telford following flood damage in 1795.〔Teme Valley Times, Spring 2007, p2〕 It is also crossed, several times, by the Elan aqueduct.〔Bing aerial imagery; OpenStreetMap〕
==Etymology==
The name Teme is similar to many other river names in England, testament to the name's ancient origin. Similar names include River Team, River Thames, River Thame, River Tame and River Tamar . Scholars now believe these names and the older names Temese and Tamesis derive from Brythonic ''Tamesa'', possibly meaning 'the dark one'.〔Ekwall, E., ''English Place-Names'' (4th ed), OUP, 1960, ISBN 0-19-869103-3, pp 459, 463, 464〕
