DescriptionSITE MOVED TO NGR: SO 04437 06651; NPRN 407729.
When visited in June 1979, the structure was noted as a fine, complete, cast-iron bridge dating from the 1790s, set on stone abutments; it carried a former parish road over the filled-in Glamorganshire Canal (nprn 34425). The bridge comprised cast-iron girders to the base and had a low iron-lattice parapet. Due to damage, it has since been moved to Chapel Row in Merthyr Tydfil and re-erected across a restored section of the canal.
