Boughrood Bridge

Boughrood Bridge is a toll bridge built around 1838 to 1842 by the Maesllwych Estate at a cost of £5,890. It was constructed to improve the transport of coal, coke, and lime from Radnorshire to Brecon, replacing an earlier ford and ferry. Tolls were stopped in 1934.

The bridge is made of rock-faced squared rubble and features four equal span segmental arches, each measuring 75 centimeters, which spring from cutwaters with keeled tops. These arches rise as pilasters to the level of the parapet. There is a plat band at the base of the parapet and flush dowelled copings. At each end of the bridge, there is a low flood arch. The western end of the bridge was rebuilt later and includes weep pipes. On the northern parapet, there are three tall cast iron lamp standards from the 20th century made by Sugg. The bridge carries the road at the same level.

The bridge crosses into Boughrood parish in Radnorshire, where a Gothic style toll house was built in 1843. It is noted for being a well-built and preserved 19th-century road bridge constructed by a private estate.
