Today, this is the end of the Glamorganshire Canal and all excess water flows under this bridge into the Melingriffith feeder on the left. Formerly, the canal continued southwards from this point and just any excess water flowed into the feeder. The feeder was constructed to supply the Melingriffith Tinplate Works that were built in 1749 and predates the canal built in the 1790s.
