Canal bridge, probably contemporary with the Tennant Canal built 1821-24. The engineer was William Kirkhouse and the canal opened in 1824 from the Neath Canal at Aberdulais to Port Tennant, Swansea. Traffic declined from the 1860s due to competition with railways but the canal did not close to commercial traffic until 1934.
