This photograph shows the earliest dated keystone of the many arches that make up the Newtown Bridge complex. This one is dated 1813 when the second and largest arch was erected to carry a horse drawn railway over the valley. Below is a cast iron tie supporting the keystones. The whole immense structure is a Grade II listed structure.
