Description

The footbridge at Llanbradach Station is made of wrought and cast iron. It features a flight of steps on each platform that leads to a half landing, which then turns onto an arched bridge that spans the railway lines. The steps have square balusters topped with ball finials at their base, and the bridge is supported by lattice girder rails with a handrail and plain balusters. The arched bridge includes bulbous bracing. The decking and treads are made of wood, and the half landing is supported by columns with pierced angle bracing.
