Dist:0.1km<br/>A view from Wrexham Road, close to Pulford Bridge, across Darland Golf Course. Lavister Brook flows under the concrete bridge just inside the gate and joins Pulford Brook at Pulford Bridge a short distance to the left. The straight line of mature trees over to the left is Pulford Approach, formerly a carriage drive to Eaton Hall for the Westminster estate.

Dist:0.1km<br/>These old 'S.V' markers are on the west side of the road on the Welsh side of Pulford Bridge. They show the distance to the valve '5 FEET' and the initials 'W&E.D W Co', which refer to the Wrexham and East Denbighshire Water Company. The earliest reference I have found to this company is in Hansard in 1921.

Dist:0.1km<br/>This flush bracket is at the south west end of Pulford Bridge on the west side of the west parapet, i.e. over the wall from the road. It is on the large stone at the end of the main bridge structure, and can be seen by leaning over the wall. If you choose to climb over make sure you are in the right place (its only three feet) or it could be a 12 foot drop into Pulford Brook! There is an interesting old iron hook on the left, I wonder if that had anything to do with steadying the surveying equipment? For the bridge parapet and stone from the other side see [[1465962]]

Dist:0.1km<br/>Looking towards the west parapet of Pulford Bridge with the buildings of the Grosvenor Pulford Hotel and Spa in the background. The large stone on the right of the wall junction (at the left of the photo) has an O.S. Flush Bracket on the other side - see [[1461127]] The Welsh/English border runs along the centre of the brook.

Dist:0.2km<br/>An August view of Pulford Brook, which is almost invisible under the summer's growth of weed. Towards the end of the year it will be cleared of weed to maximise flow before the winter weather - see [[1465698]]. On the right are the well tended gardens of the Grosvenor Pulford Hotel and Spa.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Looking along Wrexham Road and over Pulford Bridge and the Welsh/English border. The bridge was once much narrower than this but because it was the main road between Wrexham and Chester it was widened on the right many years ago. The right hand side of the bridge is now supported on concrete beams whereas the left is still sandstone arches. However, since the creation of the A483 trunk road/by-pass to the west, this wide road is generally very quiet. The Grosvenor Pulford Hotel and Spa is on the left behind the trees and it has new red signage.
