The section of the previous wall above 'The Barn' bore OSBM flush bracket S0455: The bracket was used on the Aberystwyth to Lampeter secondary line of the Second Geodetic Levelling of England & Wales in 1942. It was levelled with a height of 23.791' above OD (Newlyn). Description: Flush Bracket on wall, N side of Bridge Street, Aberayron. Abstract A 483: http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C11178827 [OS 54/148] The bracket was used on the Cardigan to Aberystwyth line (G082) of the Third Geodetic Levelling of England & Wales in 1956. It was levelled with a height of 23.754' above OD (Newlyn). Description: SE face of bridge, NW side of road, 21' NE from E bank of Afton Aron. Abstract G 65: http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/details?Uri=C11264473 [OS 54/754] The bracket was reported destroyed on 23rd September 1960, when the bridge was widened on this side, during improvements to the A487. Comparison of the current parapet and wall to the surviving 1882 parapet on the other side of the road should make it obvious that this wall is more recent.
