Dist:0.5km<br/>Old and new bridge that go over the Afon Elan though I can't help but think that the new bridge is a temporary one until a proper one is built.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Built and opened in 1904, the bridge closed in 1985 because of its poor condition, and was replaced the same year by the 'temporary' Bailey Bridge alongside. The two men pictured here [[2479554]] told me about the history of the two bridges and that they hope to get the bridge repaired soon but are in need of a few quid around £100,000 to make their dream come true, but as it's been closed all this time - good luck with that then.

Dist:0.6km<br/>The old bridge over the Afon Elan. This used to the road bridge and at one time had traffic going across but this was quite a few years ago. As can be seen it is now closed because of the dangerous state it is in.
