Description
The former railway bridge over the Montgomeryshire Canal was built to carry the Welshpool and Llanfair Railway over the canal. The railway was established by the Welshpool and Llanfair Caereinion Railway Company in 1898 and opened in 1903. It was taken over by the Great Western Railway in 1921 and closed by British Rail in 1956.
The bridge features stone abutments with rusticated terminal piers on the eastern side and rough rubble on the western side. It supports cast-iron girders that carry a road-bed made from sleepers. This bridge is a unique surviving relic of the light railway as it runs through the town and is part of a group of structures associated with the canal.
