James Street crossed the Glamorganshire Canal via a swing bridge at this point. The curved shape of the railings on the right reflect the swing bridge's shape. There is a c1943 photo of the bridge on the Gathering the Jewels website. http://education.gtj.org.uk/en/item1/31832 The line of the canal is a linear park today.
