Pont Gethin

Pont Gethin is a railway viaduct that measures 326 meters in length and features a 24-meter main arch over the river Lledr, along with six smaller arches, the first of which spans the A 470 at an angle. The structure is built from massive local slatestone blocks that are snecked and rough-shaped, with dressings made from Penmaenmawr stone and red brick soffits. The arches consist of dressed voussoirs beneath plain archrings and are topped with a sham-machicolated parapet that has shallow steps and 'arrow slits' above the arches, along with plain capping. On either side of the main arch and the grouped lesser arches are semi-circular turrets that contain refuges, which are decorated with battlements in three tiers above. An inscription reading 'O Gethin D Jones, Penmachno, 1879' is incised into a block on one of the turrets that flank the road.
