Footbridge over the Roath Brook between the Lake and the Conservatory

The footbridge over the Roath Brook, located between the Lake and the Conservatory, is a small single-span structure dating from the early 20th century. It features a slightly cambered concrete deck supported by red brick abutments. The bridge is adorned with cast-iron balustrades that have moulded handrails and open latticework, which includes cross-motifs and heraldic emblems in the center of each side, displaying the three chevrons of Glamorgan. At each end of the balustrading, there are panelled and faceted piers with large scrolled brackets on the outer sides and pyramidal caps. The inner sides of the piers are inscribed with 'J Lysaght Ltd, engineers, Bristol'. Beyond the balustrades, there are plain iron railings attached. Large curved brackets, positioned at right angles to the balustrading, connect the handrails to the underside of the deck.
