Railway bridge
The track of the Bryngwyn branch of the North Wales Narrow Gauge Railway. The crown of the arch executed in brick is a surprising feature, and the cosmopolitan nature of the large squared blocks of the walls is remarkable. The incline in the modern path between the stream crossing at the camera location and the main village road is a modern feature which results from filling the railway cutting beneath another similar bridge.
