Llandinam Bridge

Cast-iron construction comprising a single segmental arch spanning 27m. The construction has three ribs, each comprising an arch ring, above which are raking struts carrying the single carriageway deck. The arch rings are each composed of segments of five cusped panels; the struts above forming a lattice work pattern and are tied and spaced apart by circular rods and cross members. At deck level there is a panel-fronted horizontal girder attached to which are cast iron railings with mid rail; and cusping to alternate panels at the top. The almost flat running surface, falling slightly to the W, is approximately 3.4m wide. At the E end, on the downstream side, the girder bears the cast inscription 'Thomas Penson County Surveyor', and on the upstream side, 'Hawarden Iron Works'. At the W end of both sides is the date '1846'. At the W end the railings continue and curve outwards towards the former railway station, and on the upstream side retain an iron diamond-shaped Montgomeryshire County Council loading restriction sign, dated 1906, restricting the superimposed axle weight to 3 tons. At the E end there are undressed stones parapets at the corners and attached railings that continue behind the statue of David Davies. The bridge is buttressed by raking abutments of large ashlar blcoks, sweeping out to terminal piers.
