Rhydycar Skew Bridge

A three arched bridge of sandstone and brick with a large elliptical arch to the centre and a round-headed arch on either side, separated by thin, tapering piers. The arches are of red brick, with five courses to the centre arch and three to the flanking arches. The piers, walls and wings are of bullnozed sandstone. The walls curve continuously from the wings to the apex, which is below the level of the embankment carried above. There are three round headed relieving arches with pronounced stone voussoirs linking the central arch transversely to the arches on either side.
