Description
Penmaenpool Bridge, located partly in the Dolgellau Community, is a Grade II listed structure featuring 19 spanned sections supported by piers made of four cross-braced timber piles and a timber deck. The central span was originally designed to open. The bridge has plain handrails and is slightly ramped towards the center. At the southwest end, there is a gate with polygonal cast iron piers topped with ornamental caps. It includes two wrought iron gates with tulip finials and a lock rail, along with a pedestrian gate set to the right.
At the southeast end, there is a toll booth to the east, which is a lap-boarded timber-framed structure resting on timber piers. The booth has shallow jetties on its gable ends supported by brackets, a moderately-pitched felted roof with finials and pendants, and plain, bracketed eaves with bargeboards. A raking dormer facing the bridge features a felted roof and cheeks, deep verges, and brackets. The corner by the bridge has a canted, transomed five-light small-paned window with an entrance alongside it. The rear elevation has three windows: a three-light transomed window to the left, a two-light transomed window at the center, and a single light to the right, all of which are small-paned.
