Description
The King's Bridge, located partly in the Llangollen Community, is a Grade II listed structure built of rock-faced rubble with arches made from blue engineering brick. It features five segmental arches supported by three water piers at the southern end, which slope slightly southward and pass through one arch of the earlier railway viaduct constructed after 1862. The piers are designed with triangular cutwaters on the upstream side. Each arch consists of five courses of brick and includes a 150mm bull-nosed outer regulating string. The flush spandrels rise to a horizontal string at the base of the snecked parapet, which is topped with flush margin-dressed flat stones. The bridge has end pilasters and a projecting course at the springing of the arches. An inscription on the inside face of the parapet commemorates the coronation of King Edward VII. The southern arch, which spans the Llangollen Canal, is numbered 49A in the canal bridge series.
