Description

Llanellen Bridge is a three-arch road bridge built in 1821 from red sandstone ashlar. It features semicircular arches with keystones and low pointed cutwaters that have pilaster strips above them. The downstream side includes long modern concrete cutwaters to protect the bridge from scour, along with attached pipelines. The parapets have flat ashlar coping that sweeps out onto cylindrical piers at each end. The cylindrical pier on the downstream Llanover side has been damaged and roughly repaired as of July 2005. An inscribed stone in the center of the downstream side parapet states, "Designed and Builded by John Upton of Gloucester, Engineer 1821 for the County of Monmouth."
