Bridge over Steel Works Road - Ebbw Vale
Image: © Tony Bailey Taken: 21 Nov 2007
This impressive stone bridge links the town centre and Newtown. There are several archways; this view shows the arch constructed in 1861. To the left is an archway over the river constructed in 1790 and to the left is an archway built in 1813 for the tramway running to the steel works. The photographer is on the site of the old lower Ebbw Vale railway station. The old Road Arch is up to the right and the road after passing through the arch used to bend left over the railway bridge (no longer there) and then right and on down the valley. Around 1970 a new tunnel (arch) was constructed next to the road arch for pedestrians, and is probably still there.
