Viewed across the Afon Lwyd from Mill Road. The inscription on the arch is 1915 AUDC SWIMMING BATHS. (AUDC = Abersychan Urban District Council). There was formerly a footbridge across the river here which led into open-air swimming baths. The baths were in use until the 1980s, whereafter the site was filled in and grassed over. All that remains is this partly-overgrown entrance arch.
