Description

The Old railway bridge at Coed-y-Gric consists of two sections: a steel plate girder that crosses the canal and a stone arch that spans the footpath leading to the canal bridge. The stonework features large coursed squared blocks of limestone. The footpath arch is semi-circular and includes impost blocks, a keystone, and voussoirs. The parapet is set slightly forward above the arch. The span over the canal was likely originally made of cast or wrought iron but has been replaced with a steel plate girder. Light steel railings are present throughout the bridge. This structure crosses into the Pontymoile Community.
