Full Report for Listed Buildings
The list description is not intended to be a complete inventory of what is listed: it is principally intended to aid identification. By law, the definition of a listed building includes the entire building (i) and any structure or object that is fixed to the said building and ancillary to it and (ii) any other structure or object that forms part of the land and has done so since before 1 July 1948, and was within the curtilage of the building, and ancillary to it, on the date on which said building was first included in the list, or on 1 January 1969, whichever was later.

Name of Property
Pont Lladrillo
Unitary Authority
Denbighshire
Location
Carrying the High Street over the Afon Ceidiog on the E side of the village.
History
The bridge is probably C18. It was widened later in the same style.
Exterior
Irregular 3-span bridge with humped deck, constructed of rubble stone. Low segmental arches of stone voussoirs with dripmoulds. The N side of the bridge has a triangular cutwater between the E and central arch; the W arch is for overflow water. No string course to parapets, which are constructed of smaller blocks of rubble stone, probably rebuilt, with flat stone copings. The bridge was widened, so the S side is slightly later. Its appearance and detail is similar, except that there is a shallow pilaster in place of a cutwater between the E and central arch. The abutments continue as walls.
Reason for designation
Listed as a fine well-preserved C18 bridge which contributes to the character of the Conservation Area.
