II

Plateway bridge. Circa 1820; for the Kington Railway. Coursed stone. Small single-span bridge with elliptical arch with dressed stone arch ring. Part of the springing of the arch and a section of the adjacent abutment on the downstream side has collapsed. The Kington Railway [1816-20] was a plateway which ran from near Kington to Brecon, where it joined the canal. Burnt limestone was brought from Kington to the canal basin at Brecon, and the horse-drawn trams would return with coal and iron. SOURCE: The Kington Railway, pp. 88 and 89.
