Cadw's description
Location
Spanning the rear service drive to west of the house.
History
Dated 1840 and so contemporary with the rebuilding of the house and stables and general estate improvements by the 3rd Lord Newborough. Said to have given access from the laundry to the area in which the clothes were hung out to dry.
Glynllifon was the seat of the Wynn family and Sir Thomas John Wynn became the 1st Lord Newborough in 1776. The house was rebuilt after a fire 1836-48 by Edward Haycock, architect of Shrewsbury.
Exterior
Cast-iron pedestrian bridge spanning the service drive and carried on the tops of the flanking rubble walls. Girders and parapets all latticed and the deck is also iron. The parapets curve outwards to end in balusters.
Reason for designation
Listed as a good dated example of mid C19 iron bridge and for group value with the many other listed items associated with Glynllifon.
