caption_attribution_description: English: Over Basin. The restored basin of the Hereford and Gloucester Canal. http://www.h-g-canal.org.uk/ The temporary bridge in the corner is the location of the yet to be restored lock into the River Severn. The newly built Wharf House in the centre of the picture was constructed by the canal restoration society and now houses a shop and a very smart restaurant. http://www.thewharfhouse.co.uk/ Soon it will also provide accommodation.
context_page_description: Over is a village in Gloucestershire 2 miles west of Gloucester. It lies on the A40 road in the parish of Highnam, on the west bank of the River Severn. Over was historically a hamlet of the parish of Churcham. In 1935 it was transferred to the newly formed parish of Highnam.
  The village is linked to Alney Island and Gloucester by Over Bridge, now a pedestrian bridge but until 1966 the lowest road crossing of the Severn. There was a bridge at Over, where a Roman road crossed the river, from ancient times. It was rebuilt several times, and the present bridge was built by Thomas Telford between 1826 and 1829.
  The River Leadon joins the River Severn just to the north of the village. The Herefordshire and Gloucestershire Canal, opened in 1795 and closed in 1881, joined the Severn between the village and the confluence of the Leadon. The canal basin at Over was restored in 2000.
  In 1903 a new infectious diseases hospital was opened at Over. It closed in 1991.
  During living memory the traditional pronunciation of Over is Over
