History
 

Exterior
Location: Carrying the A458 over the River Banwy 0.25km W of the village centre. History: Early-mid C19, but possibly on the site of an earlier structure. Jervoise noted that the bridges across the Banwy in the area of Llangadfan were not generally more than 100 years old. He also reports that Richard Llwydd had described it as ‘newly erected’ but it is not clear when. Description: 2 span bridge with round arches, curving abutments and semi-circular cutwaters. Constructed from roughly dressed and coursed local stone in small blocks. The stones which form the cutwaters are generally larger than elsewhere. The cutwaters have stepped stone cappings, 4 courses high. The central pier and cutwaters have been underpinned with concrete or modern stone, creating plinths with pointed ends. Narrow carriageway over with stone parapet walls having monolithic stone copings. The voussoirs of the arches are flush with the face of the bridge but the carriageway level is defined by an external string jambs of the abutments. The abutments curve, (without forming quadrants) and terminate in small square buttresses. There is a larger buttress, probably constructed later, in the NE corner. The abutments are constructed on small stone plinths. Stone steps lead from the base of the NW abutment up to road level. Listed as an impressive and unaltered C19 bridge with townscape value.
