Shown on 5 historical map sheets, the earliest the 1795 "To Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn Bart ... the map of the six counties of North Wales is most humbly inscribed by his obedient humble servant" (Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru – The National Library of Wales).
Cadw's description
Location
Road bridge in the town centre, spanning the Afon Crafnant.
Exterior
Late C18 or early C19, and certainly post 1777 when plans for the new turnpike road were formed. Survey plans exist dated 1822, though this need not be the construction date. Wide, single-span rubble bridge with segmental arch; rough-dressed voussoirs recessed slightly below a plain arch ring formed of narrow stones. Parapets with rough-dressed coping stones and plain band below; battered piers flanking the arch. Modern footway added on W side; arch strengthened with modern strutting.
Reason for designation
A late C18 or early C19 road bridge in a prominent location within the town.
