Description

Cast-iron towing path bridge with stone abutments over an overflow from the Glamorganshire Canal into the Melingriffith Feeder. Cast iron road with trellis iron parapets. A flat parapet with coping on the Feeder side and with a bow-shaped parapet without coping on the Canal side. This latter was probably to allow tow ropes to pass more easliy as this section has a widened stretch for a winding hole. Compare with the similar bridge about 500m south beside Melingriffith Pump.
